What this video covers

The crew of Doodles sails 70 miles south from Chesapeake City through the Delaware Bay to Cape May, New Jersey.▶ 0:45 Departing before dawn to manage the distance, the crew motor-sails in light winds before increasing breeze allows for sailing under mizzen and genoa.▶ 2:18 Navigation requires constant vigilance to avoid large tanker ships, which possess limited maneuverability and maintain higher speeds than expected.▶ 4:50 Upon reaching Cape May, the crew anchors on the outskirts of the harbor, resetting once to ensure proper holding before monitoring their position via chart plotter.▶ 8:50 The following day, the crew launches their dinghy to access Cape May, noting a lack of public dinghy docks and a 30-minute walk from the available boat ramp to the town center.▶ 13:28 They observe that local beach access requires a $10 fee and prohibits dogs.▶ 14:26 The crew manages electrical needs by deploying solar panels to reach 650 watts of output, supplementing with a generator to maintain battery levels.▶ 10:35
