Day 28 October14th. Underway again.

We finally left the dock at Jabin's this morning at 8.30. We were both ready to move on after spending 14 days there tied to a dock in back creek. Our water maker is installed and our canvas work is complete so we are heading to Norfolk and the ICW. The weather has turned cold and raw so we were ever so glad to have the protection from our new enclosure. Looking at the way both of us are dressed in these pictures you would not think that we were comfy and cosy but the outfits were worn to leave the dock in the morning and fill our fuel tank prior to leaving the harbor. We had 10 to 15 k. winds and 2ft following seas down the Chesapeake so we made good time to Solomon Island. We may have to stay here for a day or two to avoid some wet and windy weather but new places are always fun and it looks as if there are several places of interest for us to visit.

For those of you in NEB who are following our blog we are tied up just a short distance away from ARIEL (Island Packet) which used to be on the 300 dock for several years. Norman and Linda retired and moved south in 2007. We have not seen them yet but hope to meet them while we are here.
