Update

Most of the ride to Norfolk was nice; smooth seas, even a peak or two of sunshine. That lasted until the last two hours of travel; then up came the wind velocities, down came the rain; there went the one windshield wiper blade; set screw failed to hold. So, press on. I gotta say that there are not a lot of "geez" moments around, but looking out the window at a loaded Evergreen container ship that is right beside you; well, that might qualify. And Chuckie, I mean right beside you. Finally able to get across the entrance channel to Norfolk harbor, we ducked into Willoughby Bay.It is located just outside the Naval airbase in Norfolk. Not much protection, so quite a bit of rock & roll. Up early and underway, we had to deal with a broken RR bridge down the road a bit. Scheduled to open @ 1130; it was more like 1200 before anything productive actually happened. By then the holding tank "full" light popped on; oh, joy. Now 1400, and 30 + miles to run, we elected to park it in Great Bridge , VA for the night. Not a big fan of dark operations in strange places.

Now, if all holds together, and winter storm whatisname slows down a bit, and the Albemarle Sound is doable, we should be pretty much into NC by Sat am. The issue is, and rightfully so, that this is not a delivery type of trip. We're not pushing 10 hrs a day; not dawdling, but not pushing limits to the end either.

My apologies for the lack of pics; two issues: I can't hold the camera with the bad arm; I haven't yet figured out how to get pics from the phone into the blog. As they say, we're working on it. Ya'll stay warm; catch you on the flip side. Finally, there be a pic from the phone. ICW mile marker 0 ( as in zero, Chuckie). Progress of sorts; wish I could remember what I did to get it there.
