An open-water experience that serves as a dose of reality to the non-brochure side of sailing! Sailors get the opportunity to sail offshore from the Chesapeake Bay to Abaco, Bahamas. Learn important electronic & paper-chart navigation, route planning, weather forecasting, experience night watches and cruise for an extended period of time.
While aboard you gain working knowledge of how to plan an offshore passage. Upon arrival crew is greeted at the dock where your bunks are assigned. Students will assist with watch duties, log recording, weather analysis and route strategies. You will see what you might never see doing charters in blue-sky conditions.
Please keep in mind that our duration is an estimation and the trip may take more or less days, as well as start and end times. All registered students will be notified of official voyage start time.
