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.

Not necessarily. Storms that come in over the OBX come up the middle
of VA and aren't dissipated by the time they get to Richmond. It
isn't that far.

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.
