S/V SeaSprite prepares to depart Sunset Bay Marina in Stuart, Florida, for a northward passage to the Chesapeake Bay.0:12 The crew abandoned original plans to visit the Florida Keys and the Bahamas due to the coronavirus pandemic.0:28 Preparations include filling fuel and water tanks, stowing the dinghy, mounting the outboard, installing jack lines, and charging electronics.1:03 For passage planning, the crew utilizes FastSeas to model routes, departure times, and weather windows, specifically to avoid dangerous standing waves caused by wind-against-current conditions at inlets.1:33 By inputting boat polars into FastSeas, the crew calculates a 423-nautical-mile route from St. Lucie Inlet to Cape Fear, Bald Head Island, with an estimated duration of two days and 12 hours.4:17 The route leverages the Gulf Stream for a fair current while maintaining beam and broad reaching wind angles.4:37 While PredictWind is a viable alternative, the crew prefers FastSeas for its accuracy and lower cost.1:44
