After a wonderful meal in Coinjock last night, we sat around with our boat neighbors from Toronto who are heading home after their 5 year journey and drank wine (hard to believe, I know). Today was a "parade" of boats heading north and we are tied up at the FREE docks just south of the Great Bridge Lock. It's a great place since there's a grocery store within walking distance. We stocked up on some fresh fruit today as we were low and treated ourselves to a big Subway sandwich which will serve us well through dinner.
Our plan is to catch the first opening of the bridge and lock in the morning and head for Norfolk. We've reserved a slip at a marina called Waterside Marina which is supposedly a "mini Inner Baltimore Harbour". The Harbourside Festival is this weekend in Norfolk complete with tall ships and we'd love to stay for that but word has it that slips are $5.00 per ft. so while we're there tomorrow, we'll scout for an anchorage. We just missed the Pirate Festival there as it ended today which would have been a fun time too. Here's a photo of the "parade" going through one of the 3 bridges heading north. The boat in the lead is "Northern Reach", the boat that we've been traveling with today. "Wilde Matilde" docked here tonight also so after they finish their grocery store run and we all take much needed showers, it's cocktail hour.
