A 34-ft Saddler, *Wanderling*, completes a 250-mile passage from Maryland to New York City, navigating the Chesapeake Bay, the Delaware River, and the Atlantic coast.15:07 The crew utilizes a favorable weather window with southerly winds to transit the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, benefiting from a 2.5-knot following current.4:09 After refueling at a canal-side dock, the vessel anchors overnight behind the Delaware Breakwater at Cape Henlopen to avoid heavy swell.5:43 The final leg involves light winds, dense fog, and a series of five thunderstorm fronts that force the crew to heave-to and briefly anchor near Sandy Hook.14:46 Despite significant hull fouling from brackish water that limits speed to 3–5 knots, the boat reaches a mooring field near New York City after three days of travel.15:07 The crew eventually sails past the Manhattan skyline and Liberty Island, concluding a four-year, 15,000-mile journey.16:43 Regular hull cleaning and monitoring weather windows for favorable wind direction are essential for maintaining speed during coastal passages.
