Great Bridge, VA
We had a nice trip up the Currituck Sound and stopped at the free dock in Chesapeake, VA. The dock is next to the bridge and lock at Great Bridge. It is an excellent lace to get off the boat and walk in the park.

Hawksbill Cay
We met Wolfgang and Dan on the Galateia, a red monohull. There were four others on board that we did not meet yet. The owner, Wolfgang told us the boat spent the last two years unattended in the Bahamas because of Covid. He had left her in the water on a return trip home to Germany. He them was not able to return to the Bahamas until 10 days ago. The neglect had taken its toll, but he was making progress getting her back in shape. He had sailed her around the world and up and down the ICW twice. He had been through the Bahamas 4 times already, but had never spent a lot of time there, even though his boat did!
We also spent the morning making water, finishing laundry and making minor repairs to the freshwater system.
