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 ?

Thanks Jeff.

I just looked at the map again and I guess Richmond is probably
quite safe from the hurricanes.

Would it be difficult to find a marina there that can take a 38'
catamaran ?

Still haven't found out if I'll have to remove the mast to get there.
