Farther south from downtown Norfolk is very industrial and there are a
lot of gritty looking commercial docks for things llike coal loading,
petroleum products and other bulk cargo of various types. The town
of Great Bridge, where we are now, is sort of on the southern edge of
all that and the scenery becomes fairly rural between here and North
Carolina.

Is that the cut that goes between Portsmouth and Chesapeake Va?
I was stationed at Berkley Base along that stretch for a while in the
CG.
I looked at Google Earth and that whole area changed so much I had a
hard time even finding it.

Here's a chart segment that shows the ICW from here down to North
Carolina:

I knew the ICW went that way but we never went down there.
We used to see pretty big boats coming and going. I thought there must
be a big marina down there until someone told me that was the ICW.

Especially in the spring and fall there is a whole armada of boats
migrating north and south along the ICW.
