Default Can I sail a catamaran to Richmond, VA ?

The boat is about 21' wide with a bridge clearance of 56'6"
but I can remove the mast if I have to.

Looking at Google Earth I can see waterways between Norfolk
and Richmond but the water looks very muddy in some areas.

Is Richmond far enough inland to be safe from the hurricanes ?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.


I suppose it depends on just where you want to go. Richmond has a
"deepwater terminal" that handles large ships.


Here's the downloadable NOAA chart of the last stretch:

As for hurricanes, how safe to you want to be?
