Norfolk and the Chesapeake

We entered Norfolk about 6pm Tuesday. Massive Navy ships lined both sides of our route.


The decision was made to run all night through the Chesapeake. We entered the waypoints in the nav software and set off. Annie and Eric took the first shift and Tim and I came on watch about 2am. It was a calm beautiful night.


With Radar and AIS running, we were able to track ships and boats miles before they were visible. Great fun. The sun rose about 5:40am.

We are currently off Tilghman Island running towards Annapolis with an estimated arrival at 1pm.
