Did a few long days, 85nm or so. to anchor at our must visit Susan and Peter spot in the Chesapeake. They are truly the 'Best of the Best' - thank you S&P. Stayed till Sunday when we departed at dawn for Fishing Bay Marina in Deltaville VA, N37 32.457 W76 20.261, to party on our mutual birthdays with Joanie and Bob on Nemir. After that it was Waterside Marina, Norfolk VA, N36 50.636 W76 17.567 where we picked up an OCC burgee from a fellow member that lives near the marina.
After that it was rain, overcast and gusts to 20k. The Great Bridge Lock was closed to boat traffic due to high water for awhile so we anchored north of the lock and hunkered- down till the lock opened and we made our way to Alligator River Marina, cleanest marina we've visited along the way and good burgers, too! Then it was onto Pungo Creek in sunshine! Pungo Creek, N35 30.493 W76 39.344, is a very nice place to anchor - very good holding but, poor WIFI.
