In the Clear Lake area they put Space Shuttles on Barges...in these parts, they put TUGS on barges.
NORFOLK, VA

Today was a day of bridges and a lock. We had been warned that there was a series of bridges up ahead that only opened at certain times. We departed Coinjock with our fingers crossed, that we could transit them all in a timely manner. As good friend Barb Dupuy says..."I love it when a plan comes together". ..and it did :-)
Very shortly after arriving in downtown Norfolk, a horrific storm hit. We had to add extra lines and fenders. Winds were clocked at 60+mph, along with hail. Our sturdy boat held strong though it all.
Today is John's birthday. He is now a medicare man, and not too happy about it. We had dinner on the boat, thanks to the storm. There will be time for birthday merriment on another day.

  1. Whoa! Happy Birthday Old Man! Hope you are enjoying the adventure. Now that you have hit Medicare, it might be time to retire the Speedo! LOL
