Point Comfort, VA

Hi Jim, yesterday afternoon and this morning showing signs of spring but think this will not last!

We do have what looks like a 3 day window so we will head up Chesapeake Bay and hope to go across the C and D canal to Chesapeake City by Monday to wait there for a chance to go down Delaware  Bay.  It is looking like more bad weather coming by Tuesday. We left the comfort of the city dock and moved over to this Anchorage near the mouth of Chesapeake Bay for an early start tomorrow.  It was calm when we left but quite a rough ride over.  Anchorage is fine however.  Chicken .Alfredo for dinner.  We were traveling with a tanker, a war ship, several tugs and a tour boat on the short trip over here but just too rough to go below and get the camera!!! Getting wimpy I think. Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all.

This is a Light Ship used by the US Lighthouse Service. It would have been anchored in a strategic spot to guide ships at sea away from danger. They were manned and one could be stationed there for several months through all kinds of storms. Just cannot imagine it. At least with a lighthouse assignment you would be on some kind of land.
