Wednesday 23rd October, 2019


We had N/NW winds today – perfect.  Based on the forecast we had planned a longish day to Reedville – about 40 miles away.  So we set off at first light, not knowing how fast we’d be moving.  

As it happens, we got to the turnoff for Reedville about 12:30pm and decided to take advantage of the winds and head for Deltaville, 37° 33’.592N 076° 18’.796W, another 16 nm further on.  This would give us a couple of easy days to Norfolk and the start of the NC section of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). 

The winds died at the end of the trip, but we still made great progress and docked around 4:30pm.  This morning, we started out with lots of layers to insulate against the N winds and gradually shed them throughout the day.  By the time we docked we were down to T shirts, on a bright sunny and very warm day. 

The sun has now gone down and taken the heat with it!
