When we left Cape May Saturday morning the sea was so calm we decided to head straight for Norfolk,VA instead of up the Delaware river and through the C&D canal into the Chesapeake. We are tired of the cold and just want to get south so this saved us about 5 days but involved motoring for 29 hours straight. The trip went well even though the seas got a little rough from midnight until about 3:00 A.M. We were able to put up the sails when we turned west into the mouth of the Chesapeake as the sun rose.

Battleship Wisconsin
Coming through Hampton Roads we saw a lot of Navy warships in port.We continued on to Portsmouth, VA where we are tied up right in the historic downtown with about 8 other cruising boats headed south.. Tomorrow we start the Intracoastal Waterway. Only 715 miles to Florida. |
We also visited the children's museum here in Portsmouth. The kids loved it.
