    Norfolk Day 4

    July 21, 2024 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 84 °F

    We idled over to Steve Baum's dock with some gear trashing on #2. He gave us a ride to check out the City park and ramp and to the Hilton for our night there before catching the Greyhound bus back to Myrtle Beach in the morning. Flight attendents in line ahead of us were extending stays because they couldn't get on their flights. We took the 2 hour Navy Base cruise on Victory Rover, highly reccomended. There is a clean, modern tram system. After the Dali alluded with the Key bridge in Baltimore and was eventurlly dis-entangled, it was brought to Norfolk for cleanup. Tommorrow we hope to get back to my brother's home near our launch point at Waci Weechi marina, pick up the rig, and return the next day or so to load Cat O' Mine for the ride back to Pensacola. Lots of pics of Navy vessels and Norfolk busy traffic.Read more
