Little Creek Marina - Norfolk,VA 11-3-2010

When you sail on the ocean you are 'at sea'. So if you sail on a bay are you 'at bay'? One of the many things I pondered last night on watch from 4:00AM to 8:00AM.
We left Annapolis yesterday morning under spinnaker for Little Creek Marina in Norfolk. We bobbed along in 3-4 knots of wind before dropping the sail and starting the engine. We motored through the night arriving in Norfolk this morning around 9AM.
After a shower and a BIG greasy cheeseburger and fries, Chip feels like a new boy. Hunkered down in a warm boat waiting for the arrival of crew member #4.
The weather is not cooperating! Tomas (push 1 for English) is still raising havoc in the Caribbean. A low pressure system in moving into the Norfolk area bringing rain and nasty weather here.
Plans are to push off tomorrow morning ahead of the nasty weather here and head along the coast. Destination still unknown.
More tomorrow on the plans....maybe.
Peace, love and be safe - chip
