Deltaville, VA

Alarm went off at 5:30am this morning. Wayne was up and walked the dog. By 7am 4 sailboats pulled out of Waterside Marina in Norfolk. It was a very cool morning. I had my insulated underwear on and socks, two sweat shirts. Sailor and I were wrapped in his blankey, also.

Backed out of slip at 7am.

They announced on the radio that the ship was coming out of dock 7. We had know idea where that was. Then we saw the ship coming. Just stay out of the way.

Plenty of ships to look at, I liked this one with the blue angle on it.

Once we got out of this shipping lane and into the bay it got ruff. But, at least we were head on into the waves. By 1pm it calmed down quite a bit. Lots of commercial fishing boats passed us. When we were near Deltaville, 3 big commercial fishing boats had little boats they put over in the water and they put a big net out.

 

The 2 boats came together and sat for a while with the net, then the big fishing boat came up and took the net. I never seen anything like it. Usually you see the fishing boat dragging the net, but not these guys.

We arrived at Deltaville Marina approx 4pm. We went straight to the fuel dock. We also needed a pump out. By the time we were done, Chuck and Kathy showed up and we pulled away and they came to the fuel dock. Now we are both next to each other in a slip for the night. I run up to the shower to wash my hair before dinner.

Kathy cooked tonight. Tacos.... Yummy and strawberries and cream.
