USA - Virginia, Portsmouth/Norfolk to Florida, Jacksonville

We left our anchorage at Hospital Point on Friday 21st at noon to make the Ebb Tide of the Elizabeth River and out the Chesapeake Bay

Some sights along the way.

This is the Vessel Comfort which was sent to Puerto Rico when the Hurricane came thru

A Huge Hospital Ship

Naval Vessels galore!

Not sure which are being repaired and which are on Stand-by for Action

 Elli-Pellies on the Buoys

Going thru the opening above the tunnel of the Chesapeake Bay. During daylight it’s easy, however we did this at midnight last year and it was not so much fun,

Big Ship coming

A great sunset on Friday night

Light winds almost all the way, we had to motor sail often.

Beautiful tranquil sea

A little tweety bird flew onto Meshugga on Saturday, tired. He found a spot and went to sleep. He then spent the next two days aboard with us, eating a few seeds and little insects he found around the boat.

He loved spending time in my herb plants either on the soil or up the bare Chillie Plant. He seemed to find bits to eat there.

Once we got close to land in Georgia where we went into the Beaufort inlet he flew off. Hopefully after his two day rest he made it the last couple of miles back to land.

On Monday late we sailed into the Beaufort Georgia inlet to anchor as a Southerly wind was predicted for the night. We anchored had dinner and a good nights rest.

Tuesday 8am its Up Anchor with a super NW wind, we’ll sail to Jacksonville Florida.
