Hi All!

Yay! Because of delays due to all the ice we were crushing yesterday we didn't make the bridges on time yesterday. We had a chance to make the Gilmerton Bridge in Norfolk by the last opening at 3:30 pm before they closed it down until 5:30 pm. We made it in the nick of time! We were tied up at Waterside Marina in Norfolk before dark.

We have only seen a few sailboats on our trip home. All of them had no dodger or enclosure. Can't say I really get it. With temps in the 30's and sometimes lower, I can't imagine being out for a prolonged period of time in all of that. I guess they have the right weather gear on and that helps. They still look very cold with their red faces! All I can say is I hope I NEVER have to be cruising North Carolina and Virginia in January ever again! If I do, it will be in a power boat with an inside navagation station!

We are trying to get home today to Sarah Creek. The rest of the week the weather is ugly with rain and snow. Looks like it's doable...so away we go!

Hopefully my next post will be from the dock at York River Yacht Haven/Sarah Creek, Gloucester Point, Virginia. HOME!!!

Hope all is well with you and yours. Thanks for stopping by.
