Day 2 of the trip

We left Deltaville bound for Norfolk and Portsmouth. Still had swelling seas and wind most of the way but as we approached Norfolk it became blessedly calm! We entered the ICW and noted marker zero. Each marker denotes the distance travelled so that is useful.we past the navl ships all painted grey and looking impressive with their size.Lots of tugboats on the water and the little marine police boats with their flashing blue lights watching and waiting for you to go over the 5 miles per hour limit. Then we got out into a more tranquil setting reminded me of the canal boat trip we did in France many years ago. We went through the one lock of the whole ICW and then tied up for the night at Atlantic Yacht Basin right beside the canal. Having had dinner on board the first night we treated ourselves to dinner at Kellys Pub and Restaurant.
