It'll be rough out there down here. Winds been blowing hard for 2-3 weeks. Not much fun for us little guys.

Man, that's an epic trip!
Are you staying on the ICW? how is it going, are there a lot of no wake areas to pass? Although it probably feels all the same with two large diesels.
Great pics, thanks for sharing. Although, looking at it, I'm kind of reminded why I don't want any isinglass in my boat, lol.

Are you trying to hook some big stripers over there on jersey shore now?

That marina in AC is pretty nice - I've stayed there a couple times, enjoy the trip!

Funny, the aft deck of that Parker screams for isinglass curtains. But then you will need a bimini/frame to hang them from. You know most of us like spending others' ...

Just to be completely clear, I actually meant fishing, not badabing, Fall is the time for big striped bass off northern New Jersey!

EXCITING !

Have you done this before ?
how many people on board ?
Do you run 24/7 or do you anchor or dock for the night ?
Are there many other boats that do this ? is there a yearly migration ?

@Liveto99, Not sure where you are or when you'll be here close to FL but Tropical Depression ETA has formed and we're now in the cone (of uncertainty). Seems to keep changing but something to be aware of. Stay safe...

I'm doubtful @Liveto99 is heading to Cuba.

Got into Virginia Beach about 3, did Maint and fuel, had dinner and fell asleep. Up at 1:30 Am “Great?“ lol.
fuel 350 gal. But it was $2.40 A gal so that was nice. I would love to go to Cuba should have gone when we could, I will go at some point, but not this trip. I am hoping that the Tropical depression goes into the Gulf, I mean I’m really hoping especially since the last one increased in strength by almost 90 miles an hour in 24 hours.
3 people on board, My friend Bill, 45. Myself ”Jim” 47 and Bill’s dad Bob who is 79.
I have not done this this trip before, but have gone from Virginia to N.Y. And plenty of 100 mile trips, I have boated my whole life.
We are with a 79 year old, the “trip“ he always wanted to do. He is also paying for fuel. We start late, we finish early, we do not go at night. Yes we dock at night.
Our boat has twin Cat C12 Diesal’s 700 hp each.
The Ocean was great yesterday no waves and swells about a ft. we passed Norfolk Va. and stayed in Rudee inlet at the Virginia Fishing station. We filled up and had a great dinner at Big Sams Raw Bar. Note* if noise bothers you don’t stay here, Navy air base is very close, the jets are loud.
