Episode 30 - Continuing Shared Adventures on a New Seawind 1160

Catch up with Part One and watch https://youtu.be/roTrtOJbBmU?si=rZgpjc2QW-leN2_c We pick up from where we left off from Episode 29 as we continue our adventure on a new Seawind 1160 named “Shared Adventure”. We left the protection of the break water of derelict concrete ships off of Kiptopeke Beach, Virginia, in Cape Charles, and proceeded to the Atlantic Ocean with barely a breeze and two outboards pushing us. We entered into the Atlantic Ocean’s glass waters and motor sailed for about an hour before returning to the Chesapeake Bay with a Coast Guard escort. We threaded our way north through anchored cargo ships and passed by the abandoned Wolf Trap Lighthouse on our way to Jackson Creek off the Piankatank River where we dropped the hook and celebrated Oktoberfest before turning in under starry skies. We had a lazy start the next morning and sailed north accompanied by winds of a passing front, before reaching Lake Conoy just inside of the Potomac River. We dropped the anchor in Maryland’s most haunted area of the former Civil War prisoner camp at Point Lookout. We woke early the next morning with deteriorating weather from Hurricane Ophelia that had made landfall and veered north. The now Tropical Storm Ophelia stirred up a nor’easterly chop in the bay and nipped at the stern of “Shared Adventure” all the way to Annapolis. The 3-hour tour took 11 hours but we arrived safely and reluctantly unloaded our gear. The construction of our Seawind 1260, “Moments in Time” is progressing well and we will share a status video really soon, stay tuned!
