The paradox of sailing the Chesapeake.....one minute it's an adrenaline rush of controlling the boat in 28knots with 4-5' waves and winds on the nose, to the next minute of feeling beat up and helpless with 31knots making less than 3knots with reefed sails and engine.....oh and 30 miles to go! Needless to say we are spending two days here in Great Bridge just to recover. Darell from Y-Knot, on his Cataline 36, is right in front of us at the town dock. We met 2 years ago in Vero and then in Marathon. He had great adrenaline sailing stories to share as well. There are stores, restaurants, parks, churches and laundromats here. Love it!
