We’re off!

We left our marina before sunrise yesterday. We had brisk winds to help us down the river and the bay. Chilly temperatures. We were both wearing multiple layers. We arrived in Little Creek at dusk where we got a slip so we could plug in the heat. Weather doesn’t want to cooperate for us to go off shore to Bermuda so it looks like we will be going down the east coast heading to Bahamas instead. We are waiting for a little more weather info later this weekend before making a final decision.

Packing

We are packing for our trip, as well as cleaning our house for our house sitter. Our plan is to take the first good weather window after Nov 3rd. It should take about 5 or 6 days to get to Bermuda from Norfolk, and Norfolk is about a half days sail from our marina (Regent Point Marina). We may anchor overnight near the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel. Still deciding.
