We left the anchorage at 7:30 this morning and although we only had 55 miles, it took us 6 hours cause we waited on 4 bridges to open and had 1 lock to go thru. But it was a pretty, sunny Sunday and a pleasant day on the water.
Norfolk, Virginia....here we come!
We are at the Waterside Marina in downtown Norfolk (financial district) and after washing off Catrina (lots of bugs out there), we walked around downtown. Since we were not able to go to Mass today, we walked 1 mile to the Basilica of Mary, the Immaculate Conception - only to find the doors locked.

It was hot out today....but very close by was the McArthur Mall - a beautiful 3-level very cool shopping center with oh-so-many shops. We got some ice cream, browsed Barnes and Noble and then back to the boat. I'm planning to go back there tomorrow!
Don and Joan who we knew from back home picked us up at 6:30 and we went to O'Sullivan's Wharf for excellent seafood dinner and great to visit with them. They retired to Norfolk about 1 1/2 years ago.
