Unfortunately we're here until Monday or Tuesday waiting for a

NJ so I don't think this next storm system will slow us down too much.
Running in rain and wind is not a lot of fun however. My GFS model
shows it moving off shore before it hits this area with too much
impact.

That turned out to be Wednesday but I guess the weather slowed you
down. I see you are coming up the inside approaching the Virginia
state line now, just East of Liz City. Looking at the radar, it looks
like the sun came out for you. You are not missing much here. The
tropical moisture Colin dragged up is still hanging around and it has
been cloudy and ****ing on us for days. I really prefer when we
actually get the storm and it sucks out all of the moisture for a few
days, leaving nice weather.
I suppose it is good that it is cloudy for me tho. I had laser surgery
in my left eye yesterday and light still bothers me

Lasik? You will love the outcome.

No my eyes are 20/20, I just had high pressure in one. (pre glaucoma)
They do a laser thing to open up the ducts that relieve the pressure.

Indeed, but I don't have a trailer for it and, if I did, I wouldn't have
a truck big enough to tow the trailer. Or the scout and follow cars.

You need a store closer to the water ;-)

If we ever get trapped down here by flooding, I can get my boat within
easy walking distance of the Publix by going up river.

We're about 115' to 120' above sea level or, hereabouts, Bay level. If
the Bay floods this high, America as we know it is...over. :)

That sounds right. The west coast of the bay goes up pretty fast from
the water.
It is like that up in the pan handle (AKA Baja Alabama) but down here
I am about 120 miles from 120 feet up or down (in the gulf)
We are flat.

That happened to us after the tropical storm moved out, resulting in a
few days of really spectacular weather. Today was clear and sunny
also but cold and windy in the morning by our Floridian standards.

Today's big challenge was getting through the Norfolk Southern
Railroad Bridge #7. The bridge was hit a while back by an errant tug
boat and barge, and has been under repair ever since with restricted
operating hours. It has been driving boaters nuts because the posted
hours have often been incorrect and there is no way around it other
than going outside Cape Hatteras. We got up at 5:00AM this morning to
try and catch it before 7 when work starts. It was closed when we got
there at 6 but it turned out to be only temporary. We eventually got
through about 6:30 which was a big relief. The bridge is an
incredible anachronism which looks like it is at least 100 years old
and operates with the same efficiency.

http://www.waterwayguide.com/nav-alert/4-5755/norfolk-va-icw-closures-at-norfolk-southern-bridge-update

High winds on Chesapeake Bay are scheduled for Sunday but we should
make it north at least as far as Solomons or St Michaels tomorrow.

I see you are up in a cove just south of the Rappahannock. We used to
fish a ledge just a little East North East of there in the middle of
the bay that was always very productive.
You are definitely in an area I know a bit about now but it is all at
least 35 years ago except a few trips to Ridge. (St Jerome's Creek)
Is there still a Coast Guard base in Berkley? (near the I-264 bridge)
I would not be shocked if it was closed because they just ran ocean
station ships out of there and they don't do ocean stations anymore. I
didn't see anything like it on the Google pictures.

Maybe you can stop by and take a picture of Harry's boat so the boys
will get off his back about it ;-)

Both of our sons hang out in southern Westchester County, a little NE

head north up the Hudson River, NYS barge canal (Erie), and then out
Lake Ontario via the St Lawrence River to Canada. If everything goes
according to plan we'll eventually circle the Canadian maritime
provinces and return to the New England coast via Maine, Cape Cod,

Didn't bring any firearms with us. It just gets too complicated and
risky when you start crossing a lot of state lines.

No real interest in doing the entire great loop. As far as I'm
concerned the best part is up the east coast and into the great lakes.
I know several people who have done it because it was sort of a bucket
list goal and have then gone on to sell their boats when they
returned.

Why would he need that? He'll be long gone by hunting season.
Oh wait...there's always the chance he'll run into some gun crazy 'mericans up here during the summer.
Best be prepared.

That happened to us after the tropical storm moved out, resulting in a
few days of really spectacular weather. Today was clear and sunny
also but cold and windy in the morning by our Floridian standards.

Today's big challenge was getting through the Norfolk Southern
Railroad Bridge #7. The bridge was hit a while back by an errant tug
boat and barge, and has been under repair ever since with restricted
operating hours. It has been driving boaters nuts because the posted
hours have often been incorrect and there is no way around it other
than going outside Cape Hatteras. We got up at 5:00AM this morning to
try and catch it before 7 when work starts. It was closed when we got
there at 6 but it turned out to be only temporary. We eventually got
through about 6:30 which was a big relief. The bridge is an
incredible anachronism which looks like it is at least 100 years old
and operates with the same efficiency.

High winds on Chesapeake Bay are scheduled for Sunday but we should
make it north at least as far as Solomons or St Michaels tomorrow.

Are you planning to spend any time at Solomons?

===

As of the moment it looks like we're going to skip by Solomons and
keep going up to Herrington Harbor. We'll probably anchor off the
beach and get going again in the morning.

OK, I was thinking that might be a nice motorcycle ride. Keep safe!

The wind is howling here this morning so we may be stuck in port for a
while. I've never seen any sign of rowing activity here although
we've passed through many times. Cape May is arguably the best inlet
on the NJ coast but you have to get back in at some point.
