We are tied up at the marina in Great Bridge, just below Norfolk. We departed the dock in Deltaville at 0818 this morning and had a very pleasant trip down the Bay to here, arriving at 1705. We passed thru several draw bridges and one lock here at Great Bridge. The winds were on the nose at about 15 knots the whole way with about 1 to 2 foot waves. I had warmed the inside up prior to departure and kept Nanc warm with Mr Heater until mid day. The sun kept the cockpit warm most of the way. Doctor Swainey text-ed me that Nanc could stop her antibiotic and she is happy and trending up. She cooked Joe and me dinner as we washed the boat and filled the water tanks and fuel tanks. We should be on the Alligator River tomorrow and Beaufort Tuesday. We saw an egret as we wound along the ICW below Norfolk. Watching Cadillac Records tonight. Hello to everyone. S

The Keys should be lovely this time of year and isn't this the time of year they have the big regatta and boat show in the Keys? Will you venturing to Tortugas?
