2023 Trips in the lower Chesapeake

Published by

This year we took the boat out for four trips that were all in the southern part of the Chesapeake. I spent more time at the boat working remotely, doing boat projects, and coordinating work with contractors since we had some major work including new rudder, new standing and running rigging, and new navigation electronics. There’s more detailed writeups of each of the trips at the end of this post.

Trip 1 – Shakedown cruise with our friends Teresa and Ali

Trip 2 – Yorktown and Mobjack

This was the first trip on Zephyr where it was just Corrie and I. We sailed up to Yorktown and spent a few days, then we went to Mobjack Bay for a night and headed back to Little Creek after that. I’m writing this recap awhile after the trip since we’ve been so busy since then.
