We waited at Hospital Point until the weather calmed down and it was safe to go. That was at 7:30 pm Sunday night. We had a 14 hour window between episodes of high winds. We used 11 of those hours.

Hospital Point, VA

We traveled only about 12 miles from Great Bridge to Hospital Point. We are 0.2 miles from the termination of the Atlantic ICW. We have traveled 1019 miles on the ICW south and 1019 north, plus extensive travels in the Bahamas.

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.

Egg Island, then Chub Cay

We left Spanish Wells yesterday after another great visit. We headed out an hour and a half, just to get a head start the next day. We dropped anchor at Egg Island Monday night to hide behind the island, then make an early start Tuesday to Chub Cay.

The trip to Chub Cay would have been 12 hours from Spanish Wells. 1 1/2 hours allowed us to arrive before dark, and we could leave as early as we wished because there was no dock or channel to concern us.

We did depart early enough to arrive at Chub Cay by 4 pm. This is a beautiful upscale resort. Our little boat is dwarfed by the various mega yachts. We will stay at least two days while we try to figure this weather out.

We need a weather window of 24 hours to get from here to Florida.
