One of our bigger neighbors, but not the biggest.



Still in Portsmouth awaiting developments with Matthew. The marina is full of all sorts of boats doing the same, including several very big, very ugly ones.

Things are beginning to look a little better for VA, but nothing is moving because things could change, and also the SC ICW is closed because of the bridge closures for the coastal evacuation. Same might soon be true of NC.

So we are reading a lot, participating some in the dock's social scene, and making sure that we are well tied down and have the exterior of arrow cleared off to reduce windage. (While it looks like we will miss a direct hit, we could be in for stormy weather and high water levels.) Today we took the ferry across to Norfolk and visited a shopping mall, saw the movie "Sully," and had lunch.

Clearly we will be here for another few days - maybe longer.
