Tuesday April 29th-Thursday May 1, 2025
Tuesday we left Roanoke Island with our friends. It was nice to have a buddy boat (Too Nasty) to cross the Albermarle Sound with. It was a bit rough from time to time, but all in all the crossing was just fine. It took 4 hours. We found an anchorage for the night. The wind really picked up as the day went on so that nights sleep was not the best.
Wednesday morning we got up and went roughly 4 more hours north to another anchorage-North Landing River. It was a beautiful calm day. We FINALLY crossed the line into Virginia. Wow North Carolina was a LONG state! The day got much warmer in the afternoon. Thankfully the night was cool and sleeping was much better.
Thursday we spent about 3 hours getting from our anchorage to Waterside Marina in Norfolk, VA. We had a couple of bridges and a lock to go through. We also stopped along the way to get some fuel. The marina we are at now is very crowded. We are all here for the Great American Looper’s Association Conference. It begins Friday afternoon and goes until Monday morning. It got up to 88 today with over 80% humidity.
Once we got into the city, it was pretty industrial and military!
We arrived at our marina and boy are they packing us in! Should be quite the weekend with all these loopers and all that knowledge coming at us😁
