Norfolk...passing the Aircraft Carrier Gerald Ford

The stage is set for our seventh southbound trip. Crew mates Norm Weill (trip 7), Mark Peters, Rick Baker and Tom Bittenbender and I have decided to avoid the Gale off Hatteras, the 13 foot south pointing seas and travel instead on the 200 miles of the Intercoastal Waterway from Norfolk to Beaufort, NC. We are now passing the Gerald R Ford and the rest of the Norfolk fleet. VERY impressive. Closing in on mile marker 0...zero.
