how far can heel

[rsmith]

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

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...

Great call on CoinJock and the Prime Rib!

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?

hi guys we traveled from Cape May NJ to Ocean City MD yesterday about 5 miles offshore ...weather only called for 10 - 15 knt winds and seas 3 to 5 with the winds out of the N ...i guess mother nature didn't get the memo....we have traveled in those conditions before with no problems but yesterday the winds turned on us from the E and they were blowing at 20 to 25 + knots with gusts over 30 knts and the seas turned 4 to 6 ft. + on the beam even with the stabilizers we were heeling pretty bad one wave with the wind gust heeled us 30 degrees as per our gauge as u can imagine the Admiral was pretty nervous ....my question is how far can we heel before she rolls over....we are on a 1981 56' MY...does anybody have any ideas??

I don't know and I never want to know. Be safe out there.

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.

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
