After a fun evening with Phyllis Sale from Richmond, who also stayed on board over night (and "late" into the morning; we told her that after 7:00 was late for us!!), we headed off into the windy Bay for Hampton. We are staying here for six days, to allow for some more visiting (John and Kim Dailey from USNA '73; Billy Pearsall from Richmond; Gary and Donna Claytor also from Richmond; and maybe others), and to allow Mike to travel for a few days for work. We will then enter THE DITCH (the Atlantic Inland Coastal Waterway) with stops in Coinjock and at Dowry Creek for Thanksgiving. Mostly, we are catching up with boat chores and doing LOTS of regular work these days.
Check out the photos of the entrance of Hampton Rhodes. We thought we are going to get run down by a 20 knot LHA-3, the USS Okinawa.
PS: For those of you keeping track of Luca's training (trying to get him to GO on the boat), no progress yet. Though I think he is getting a little PO'd at us for continuing to try.
