Lots of shipping occurs on the Chesapeake and the Delaware Bays. We were passed by many of them some throwing huge bow waves. You always had to keep a good lookout for these guys Even though you are only moving at 6 MPH they might be going 14 MPH towards you making a 20MPH closing speed! Oh, and they don’t always stay in the channel so running outside of the channel might not keep you safe. At one point we saw 8 ships ready to head up the Delaware Bay. A very busy place. Here's just a few of them.
About a 3 foot bow wave! It tossed the 16 ton Snow Goose all about.
