We left Godfrey Bay about 8:30am this morning. Our plan was to make it to Norfolk, VA, but, plans change. We lost about an hour en route to an EPIRB alert on our AIS. Although it said "test" we called the Coast Guard and notified them. We provided all the information they needed. They sent out an alert on VHF Radio. It was about an hour before we heard the all clear.
The water was nice and calm today and that is always a pleasure. We saw about 12-15 ships patiently waiting to dock. Not sure where they were heading. Again today the sun was shining and that always makes travelling more pleasurable.
I didn't take any pictures today because there was nothing to see although we did see some dolphins. It is quite amazing that they swim along side by side, come out of the water with perfect timing and don't seem to be in any rush. They crossed directly in from of the boat. So beautiful.
We will make Norfolk, VA tomorrow and there will be lots of pictures to be taken. We travel right through the city and the Navel Base.
Finally got a chance to catch up on all the posts I've missed. Will you be picking up an extra anchor to replace the one that was lost. I'm glad the weather and winds have calmed down a bit. Hopefully clear sailing now from there to North Carolina!! Take the opportunity to rest well! Hugs. - Mar
ReplyDeleteWe did get another anchor when we were in Ingram Bay Marina. Hopefully we won't need two anchors at the same time again.
