To Norfolk...





















We motored across the Hampton Roads basin to Norfolk Saturday passing lots of commercial and naval vessels. The boats are enormous. Just imagine how many washing machines one of these boats could carry!! One of the commercial vessels shows trucks on board in open containers. The trucks look like Tonka toys amidst the other cargo.

The air craft carriers were amazing. I find it hard to believe they don't capsize with the size of the deck. We were also fortunate enough to see vessels in a floating dry dock. Quite and engineering feat!

We have now passed red buoy “R36” which is the unofficial Mile Marker Zero for the Intracoastal Waterway. We are here – FINALLY!
