Day 2

We left Deltaville around 9am and headed for Norfolk.The seas were still rough with swell and wind most of the way til we reached our destination.Once there the sea calmed down thankfully. We past an array of impressive grey naval ships including aircraft carriers and submarines. As we approached Portsmouth we searched for the 0 mile marker to start the official ICW canal ,and found it opposite the old hospital building. We crawled through the Portsmouth area at the 5 mile per hour speed while the little marine police boats sat waiting with their blue lights flashing to try and catch us over the limit! Then came the good part ! Tranquil waters along a tree lined canal it reminded us of our canal boating in France. We entered a large lock at Great Bridge which was a fun experience then tied up shortly after that at the Alantic Yacht Basin along side the canal. As we had eaten on board the first night we treated our selves to dinner at Kelly's Tavern .As it had been a long day we were to bed at 9.30 pm!
As my dear Dad would say over and out!
