What this video covers
Vince, the owner of the 28-foot waterline vessel Yabium, arranges for friends to deliver the boat 40 miles north across the Chesapeake Bay from Fishing Bay Marina to a marina in Deltaville.1:53 Vince chooses not to sail the passage himself due to unfavorable wind and beam-reaching conditions that he finds unpleasant.0:58 During the transit, communication fails because the marinas lack internet access and the crew cannot be reached via VHF radio.3:56 A local cruiser with a satellite phone eventually contacts the vessel, revealing that one crew member is suffering from severe seasickness and the boat’s motion is causing items to fly around the salon.4:13 Vince notes that while Yabium serves as an excellent liveaboard, its motion in choppy conditions can be difficult for crew.5:22 The delivery crew successfully completes the passage, highlighting the challenges of maintaining contact and managing boat motion in the Chesapeake Bay.
