You must have had a blast growing up in the Marblehead area.

We have lived in Avon Lake for the past 15 years (my wife grew up here
and depending how old you are her father may have been your teacher or
football coach at AL High) and docked at Copper Kettle some 20 years
ago. We drove past that marina yesterday and the slips are mainly
empty.

Va. Beach is a great area. My wife's brother lived there for years
while serving in Norfolk (a Commander of an aircraft carrier) and we
visited there many times.

Who's her father? I graduated back in 77.
Not being a smart aleck but CDR's don't captain carriers. Capt's do.
CDR's CO squadrons or smaller ships.
