Recap. We had a still and restful night anchored in Smith Creek VA. We departed early the next morning and motor sailed down the Chesapeake Bay to Fishing Bay, Deltaville VA. We got up early again and motor sailed yet again, to Hampton VA, just north of Norfolk. We are anchored as far up the Hampton River as we could get. We ran into our friends Michel and Monique on S/V Zen, it’s great to meet up with them again!

We will be here for a few days waiting out this storm that is due in tomorrow night. We are planning to depart for points south Friday morning.
Really enjoying the pictures. Many of them bring back memories of my trip south in 2000. Too bad you have to ride out another storm. That’s cruising. Enjoy the stay and be safe.
Yeah, we’ll get to warm weather eventually!
