Good bye Portsmouth hello Yorktown!

We read concerns about current at the Riverwalk Landing marina being strong. We needed to arrive during slack tide so we pulled away at 10 am to hit the timing right. It turned out to be a bonus for us.

As we left Norfolk, we saw a Navy ship coming in from Poland with all the sailors dressed in their dress whites lined up on deck!! Just passed them we heard the military on the radio letting boaters know they needed to move 6 miles west because they would be dropping and testing bombs! If that already wasn’t enough military action, we heard on the radio about a submarine coming though the channel and for boats too clear out of its way! And, we saw/heard many military aircraft fly by…..the sounds of freedom!!

We arrived in Yorktown at slack tide just as planned and it was easy docking. We backed into our slip with no issues. It was beautiful, good job Mike 🙂

Yorktown is a cute little town with a small beach. We enjoyed some beers from the Hampton microbrewery on the flybridge, along with some margaritas.

With perfect weather, easy travels and a great location, it was a good day.
