There's nothing between you and Little creek VA headed south. The storms a ways off but I would not want to be in OC with little options. If the window opens up I'd get down to great bridge AYB on the other side of the lock

Re: how far can heel
i don't think we can make the other side of the Great Bridge in 1 day of daylight from Ocean City we only do 8 to 10 knots depending on the current at 1200 to 1350 RPMs any higher RPMs all we do is burn fuel and push water this is where i have been telling the wife it would be nice to have a Hatteras SF or C that we can go slow and save fuel but when its needed we could go up on plane and do 20 + knts ..we are thinking of going to BlueWater Yachting Center in the Hampton River in VA ...we did that run when we came North and it took us 12 hrs ...and then from there to Coinjock Marina.....cant pass up their Prime Rib...

Re: how far can heel
The scallops are great too! You should have more than a day to get out of OC. Weather should improve by Sunday or Monday. OC to Norfolk/Portsmouth is around 120NM so it will be a long day at hull speed. Can you run 14-15kts?

Re: how far can heel
We plan to get underway south leaving Baltimore Yacht Club Tuesday. Here are some web sites to use to estimate waves:
https://www.windyty.com/station/OCIM....464,-75.565,9
The following one is especially good for 1-2 days out. Note wave heights are in meters!

And of course:

Good luck and stay safe.

Re: how far can heel
Jack i wish we could do 12 knts but for some reason she just won't go that fast ....we don't mind the long day just need to get to a safer area then here ....we will back track North and go up the Delaware River and come down the Chesapeake if its our only out.....but if Monday will be good like it says then we will go South we will leave at day break so we can have a good 12 hrs of light
