Started the day in Hampton Roads and made our way through the Great Bridge lock and bridge. We found a nice 24 hr tie up just past the Great Bridge Bridge.
Free 24 hr tie up just past the Great Bridge bridge.
The weather is starting to get better and the water is starting to get warmer! The water is 50° in Great Bridge, almost time for a swim!
We went through the industrial/ navy/ government portion of the ICW in Norfolk and encountered quite a few air craft carriers, destroyers, and container ships. We were definitely dwarfed in size!
Some navy ships as we passed through Norfolk.
The In Sanity tied off to the left in a small harbor in Norfolk where we stopped for free water, a pump out, and a quick walk around.
One piece of bad news to report, we broke an impellor on the generator and need to find a replacement tomorrow. Not to worry, we grilled out on the back deck, a perfect night for it. Tomorrow we'll head over to a nearby marina store to ( hopefully) find a replacement and be on our way. We also passed the mile marker "0" for the ICW and the entrance to the Dismal Swamp route. We are headed through the Virginia Cut for this portion of the trip.
Waiting in the Great Bridge Lock.
