This was much prettier than the photo suggests. Tall grass and calm water.

0063 Hi Jim, we headed out early this morning just to get moving.  The predicted westerly wind was actually an easterly so we bounced a bit at anchor.  We crossed Albermarle Sound which can be bad but it was tolerable.  Then back into the protected waters of the ICW.  We stopped to fuel up and are now at a free dock in Great Bridge, Va.  We will go through the lock tomorrow morning and then a short run to Portsmouth, Va.  I suspect we will be there for almost a week waiting for these cold temps and north winds to moderate.  We knew it would be chilly but did not expect it to be so quite so cold.  There is actually snow predicted in the Chesapeake for Tuesday and night time temps in Portsmouth in the high 20's.  We could not do this without our espar heater.  Thank you Captain Paul. 

A very Happy Birthday to your wife and friend, Pattie.  S
