At Our Destination
Yesterday  afternoon, we reached Put In Creek, a little bay a mile or two from immerman Marine in Cardinal, Virginia. We left Coinjock, after a walk early in the morning copromised by a million deer flies. There were 2 bridges we needed to have open, and they only open on the hour or half hour, so trying to time things was a bit of a challenge. The two bridges were 5 miles apart, so if I put the throttle to wide open, can just make the half hour timing, and it is good for the engine to run hard periodically. But, there was a submerged vetically floating log in the middle of the channel we heard clunk. There was no way to know it was there and it was floating. No damage that we are aware of but the boat will be hauled in a few days and can be inspected. There is a free dock between the Great Lock Bridge and the Great Lock, 12 miles before Norfolk. We tied up there early afternoon, stayed the night and took a hike. There were geese everywhere, on the water and off, so had to watch where we stepped. Yesterday moved on to the Chesapeake and we are now only a mile or two from Zimmerman Marine, in a pretty litle inlet called Put In Creek, a mile south of Cardinal. There is a boat ramp nearby and will likely get the bikes out and go to town just to see what's there. We really don't need anything and will be leaving the boat on Wednesday. The next 3 days will be filled with boat chores for the most part, and trying to figure out how to get to the Richmond airport.
