South is That Way

Going South

We had a pleasant run down the Chesapeake today. Staying overnight in Norfolk then onward tomorrow.

South

Time to migrate!

Wind!

Well, the forecast has materialized as predicted! It's been gusting up to 30 knots on the Bay, and we've seen up to 23 knots in our slip. It's also going to go below freezing tonight, so we're trying to keep the boat warm.

We have a weather window on Thursday, and we plan to take the opportunity to launch south, down the Bay. Our first port will be Norfolk. Looking forward to getting underway!

Weather

The forecast is not looking very promising for the first part of this week, so we're keeping a close eye on when the winds will die down. Once we see our opportunity, we'll launch!

Linens Aboard

Our bunk is made, so we're getting closer to being ready. Now we just need some good weather!

Provisioning Time

Today we are beginning our provisioning process. We're getting supplies aboard and looking at departing in a few days.
