Tuesday, May 15

Portsmouth, VA
Yesterday the weather was looking threatening so we tied up in a nice marina for a day of rest.  The forecast did not disappoint - it rained and blew hard all night and again today. Right now the sky is inky dark and we are glad to be tied up here.  We do plan to head out in the morning as the weather seems to be clearing.  We plan to head out Hampton Roads (thats a waterway) and straight up the Chesapeake Bay.  If everything goes perfectly we might get to the Sassafras river, where Doug Timmels boat is kept, by the weekend.  Less than perfect?  Then we will have to ask Debi to drive a little farther to pick us up and get us to the Philadelphia Airport.  Doug has signed on for the next piece of the journey so that's a great relief for us, it will be nice to have someone more experienced than I to go out into the ocean and around towards New York.
Today has proven the Kindle to be a very smart purchase.

  1. Carol, I love being able to read your sailing diary! What a grand experience. No need to apologize for the appearance of the site ~ it looks great to me, and I love the pictures, especially the truck in the water!
