Rough seas can easily double your fuel use, so you need more reserve capacity than in a car. Most outboards run increasingly more efficiently at lower rpm, as much as doubling mpg, so in a crisis you can extend range by dropping the speed.

What kind of weather / wind / sailing should a never-before-Chesapeaker anticipate for this time of year?
K9,
Would love to jump out there on König and sail with you...but I have trailered the boat to my house in Virginia to prep it for the road trip to Jacksonville for the JMGT. I leave 31 Aug and get back on 6 Sep.
Can't help you with weather as I have only been sailing there since April.
