Hello from Norfolk - we left Solomon's Island at 6:30 and arrived here at Cobb's Marina at 1:30 (102 miles). It is HOT! We were able to exercise along the way - gentle waves, but then they picked up, so had some beam seas for a while. Mark has made arrangements for the marina staff to lift Catrina out Friday morning. We will end this phase of our trip here as the lock/bridge south of here are not operating cause of Irene. The plan is to come back in mid Novemnber and continue our journey south! Ya never know if/when another hurricane is lurking out there, so best to be on land instead of stay in the water. Tomorrow, we'll get the canvas back down and start stowing our stuff!!! Didn't we just do this???? Laundry and packing, too!

Hi Pat: Probably just as well that you stop at this point. Heard about another storm that might be brewing. Bob did amphibious training in the Marines at Little Creek. Don't know if it is the exact spot where you are located, but it was at Little Creek, VA. Just finishing the last of the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo books. Think my favorite is the first and then the last one. Bob is now reading the first book and enjoying. JudyB
