We managed to motor sail into Hampton, VA today. Wind gusts of 25 knots made for a heavy slog into the wind for the last few miles but Cee Jem steadily motored on and we arrived into a snug slip at the Municipal Pier. Shortly we met Kate the dock master and settled in for a few days of showers, plug in power, water and not having to check the anchor every three hoursi the night.
As this area is the birth place of flight and space exploration in the USA it only seemed fitting that we explore the Air and Space Museum. Great spot to spend a cold and rainy day.
Hopefully the weather will return to the sunny warmth we had earlier! Canada, please try to contain your weather!
Julie noticed a distinct snap-crackle-and-pop today through our hull.
The Pistol Shrimp here are really loud and make you wonder if your electrical system is shorting out or someone is slowly roasting your hull over a camp fire. For more on these noisy critters see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC6I8iPiHT8
