A Busy Day on the Water

24 March 2008 | Norfolk/Elizabeth River
Carl
Maybe everyone was waiting out the weekend or the Easter holiday, but this morning in the Elizabeth River leading through Norfolk was the busiest stretch of the ICW that we've seen on this trip.

Between the barges being worked along the shoreline to the barge being pushed by a tug on his final leg of a journey from Charleston SC; then the lift barge crossing the channel and the enormous cargo ship being escorted by 3 tugs to her berth; then the train crossing the waterway.

We spent the morning just trying to stay out of the business vessels' way and squeak through the maze of draw and lift bridges to get back into the Chesapeake Bay for the final leg of our journey to Annapolis.
