I made this trip solo 2 years ago, starting out of Deltaville though. I am looking forward to it again soon… what is the draft on that 281? Last time I made this trip solo I was in my last boat with 4’3” draft, now on a new to me boat with 5” draft .. I was mostly worried about Tangier but it turned out to be ok, depth was just fine in and out of Tangier
I was worried about the depths too, my boat has 4’ draft. I entered from the west inlet that the big ferry takes and it was totally fine. The lowest depth I saw was maybe a 7? Mostly 8-9 ft though. Actually deeper than my home port I go in and out of all the time. If you look close you can monitor the depth sounder in the video while I’m in the channel. Hope you get to go back soon!
Nice work, thank you for sharing.
Once we sailed from Crisfield to Parks Marina. We were fine in high tide but the next morning when departing we were in the mud.

THAT boom could actually kill you. Yikes.
