Heading Southbound - Rough Passage

Dylan returned home today from Williamsburg Station via Amtrak. He was excited to travel via train for the first time on a longer passage. We were excited to be alone. We love our children, but know how to enjoy each other without them.

At 12:30 we cast off to return to the Norfolk area, with a planned destination of Hampton Roads. With steady winds from the Southeast, the Cheaspeake Bay began building as we moved further south.

By the time we reached Bluewater Marina in Hampton Roads, even Toby had enough of 'bluewater' cruising!

But, after a good boat washing and dinner; we all went for a dinghy ride up the Hampton River. On Laughing Turtle we carry a 9' dinghy with 2hp motor on our stern.
