"O dark thirty", Day 1 of trip South !!! A bit rough going South on the Chesapeake Bay, but it smoothed out by mid afternoon. The first bit of interesting scenery was entering the Elizabeth River and passing by the Aircraft Carriers (three of them) and all of the other Navy ships in port. One of the CVN's was the Enterprise (CVN 65) which remined me of a time in January 1969, while serving aboard the USS Bainbridge (DLGN 25), helping to fight the fires on the Big E off the coast of Hawaii. Made it down the ICW to the Top Rack marina. Great price on Diesel AND, if you east at their restraunt (Amber Lantern), the overnight transient fee and electric hookups are free! The restraunt was great!
