That sunrise... far out

@Mike-tc8ob Месяц назад

cool boat, love those sails. I'm running a 22' south cost down to the wye river this summer, hope to see you out.

@jeep6242 5 месяцев назад

I can't believe how loud that outboard is. I would concoct some kind of noise mitigation.

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

In real life most people remark how quite the OB is. The mic must be amplifying the sound

@lindamanderson62 5 месяцев назад

All those bridges one after the other reminded me of the four or five roundabouts leaving Charlottetown going east lol I never heard of “moneyshots” before 🤔 will try and google that. Loved the video and the beautiful scenery!!

Once you get used to them, those traffic circles are great. Thanks for the comment Linds

Excellent briefing and narrated passage to the Chesapeake … thanks! My work used to take me on occasion to Andrews AFB and at the weekends I’d always drive over to Chesapeake Bay … from Annapolis to Norfolk, plenty of really great maritime museums, so much to see and did I mention the crab cakes … yum! Bon voyage and hold fast! ⛵️🇨🇦🌞

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

I'm having a great time sailing in Chesapeake Bay, one of the finest sailing grounds in the world.

@edmctug8800 5 месяцев назад

You lucked out! meaning great weather going up the bay,, can get nasty there with the tide againts the wind !

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

Absolutely

@ray8328 5 месяцев назад

Great briefing before departure Alan. Picturesque anchorage on the first night.

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

I still remember that sunset. Of course sunrise was memorable due to the discharge of multiple shotguns as it was duck season.

@jepomer 5 месяцев назад

What beautiful November weather and waters, especially since there is a raging winter storm came through the area last night and today. I see you motoring much more than in Wave Rover 1. The ICE outboard works to your advantage. I originally thought that an electric outboard would have been good since the motor's battery could recharge with solar panels.

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

Having the 6hp OB has really given me so many more choices

@jepomer 5 месяцев назад

@@SailingWaveRover - Having an electric outboard on my Capri 22 made me sail much more rather than motor. Sailing Uma went all the way to the arctic and coasts of Europe with only an electric, so it can be done. But my Catalina 310 has a 25 hp diesel. This one does "spoil" me while giving more options as you stated. It's all in how one wants to travel on one's journey. Taking the inland waterways, stopping at interesting places, AND most importantly traveling back to see Mrs. Rover frequently is good for both of you. You are not on a "around the world" solo non-stop sail. I think your approach is quite enjoyable.

@jepomer 5 месяцев назад

@@SailingWaveRover - Just viewed a time-lapse video of the April 8th total solar eclipse. Rover's Rest will be in the totality path. Will you be taking break from sailing to return home to watch the eclipse with Mrs Rover?

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the heads up! I'm at Rover's Rest right now and will be staying until my birthday (60 th) on April 9th. Then returning to WR.@@jepomer

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

@randomtraveler3363 5 месяцев назад

Using the tidal curent in the Delaware can make the trip much easier. Timing is everything, miss it by an hour and you're fighting it all the way.

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

Totally agree

@boatbuilderjon5636 5 месяцев назад

would be really interested in an episode on how you find the outboard, would you choose any differently now, how the mounting point is working out etc and also on your innovative rudder mounting. Thanks Jon.

I am on the Lower Chesapeake and keep my boat at Cobbs Marina in Little Creek. It would be great to meet you.

I'm just outside Baltimore right now. I am planning a re-launch party in late April. I will put some info out as we get closer.

@RobertDizzo 5 месяцев назад

Hi Alan. Any news on if Chesapeake Light Craft will be doing Wave Rover kits? I'm very interested, though I wouldn't be starting any sort of project for at least 6-12 months.

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

It's all in Andy Dize's hands. email him at adize456@gmail .com

@RobertDizzo 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the speedy response! Fair winds and following seas!

@briancasey4917 5 месяцев назад

I've been following you since your voyage with Wave Rover 1. Are you still planning on circumnavigating or are you doing the Great Loop?

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

Not sure yet, that late start and the extremely active hurricane season last year caused major havoc to the planning. I will be crossing the North Atlantic this summer.

@andyb.1026 5 месяцев назад

Is that really a horizontal Hatch ? difficult to tell .. But surely Not a great idea out at sea

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

The Wave Rover hatch is hinged and can be secured from the inside. It is a serious sea going hatch.

@stuartsutherland7664 5 месяцев назад

Do boats have to motor through the canals? Some of them look wide enough to tack in.

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

Some canals will specify engine power. Bear in mind the strong currents in these canals. You will see me sailing in the C&D canal shortly

@SootHead 5 месяцев назад

How much fuel does your outboard use in a situation like this?

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

About 1 litre/hr

@SootHead 5 месяцев назад

Not bad at all!

@bake162 5 месяцев назад

How many litres of fuel are on board?

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

42 litres

@CC-kt2hm 5 месяцев назад

Seems like if all you’re going to do is coastal cruise, a different boat would’ve been more comfortable wouldn’t it?

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

There are good offshore videos from earlier in the passage posted on the channel. Wave Rover is now getting into position to cross the North Atlantic this summer.

@ArturZagaj-Izraelita 5 месяцев назад

Twoja łódka jest ładna ale stanowczo za mała do całorocznego zamieszkania. Ja potrzebuje minimum 7,4 m (24 stopy) aby zmieścić wszystkie rzeczy które potrzebuje mieć ze sobą. Czy pomożesz mi szukać dokumentacji/planów takiego jachtu typu kaczka (duck)?

@goteborg0916 5 месяцев назад

I have done your trip from Orient NY to Miami many times. Half the time we went outside past Ocean City Maryland down to Norfolk I would like to know why you are not doing the same.

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

I wanted to cruise and gunkhole Chesapeake Bay before crossing the Atlantic from Norfolk

@tonybarnes3858 5 месяцев назад

Any way to dampen the noise of that motor? Cover, muffler whatever.

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

It's probably the quietest OB in it's class.

@tonybarnes3858 5 месяцев назад

And I notice you have the option of ear protection while you're motoring.@@SailingWaveRover

@dannotte7289 5 месяцев назад

That poor little motor. Consider an inboard! 😅

@PineappleAdrift 5 месяцев назад

Inboard means more hassle, several more holes in the boat, more weight, etc. An electric outboard would be best, get rid of the noise.

@SailingWaveRover 5 месяцев назад

I agree completely with the first sentence but an electric motor would not have had the range to do what I did in this video. This small inexpensive OB gives me so many options.
