We are starting a new part of our adventure. We had reached Mile O on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. Charting your course each day becomes so important. For the past 1000 miles we have followed the ICW. Starting at Mile O, there is not a designated course and this must be determined using navigation charts, being aware of water depths, shoals, and large boat traffic. We have become aware of how important predicting the weather is. Winds and current can make traveling very difficult. The Chesapeake starts as we exit Norfolk/Portsmouth VA. Going forward from Norfolk, we will travel up the Chesapeake through the Chesapeake/Delaware River Canal (the C&D canal) to Cape May through the cut into the Atlantic Ocean, up the East Coast to the Hudson River. We have made the first trip up the Chesapeake and are currently at Deltaville, VA. We will be here through the Memorial weekend.
Entering Norfolk Harbor, lots of Navy ships
