Norfolk, VA to Chesapeake, VA

Sat. October 22, 2011 Day 41
Depart Norfolk at 8:00AM and arrived Chesapeake, VA at 12:00PM
Today's miles 12 miles for total miles of 579.5

It took us 4 hours to do 12-miles but we needed fuel and there were a few bridges we needed to wait for and our 1st lock. It was a good travel day and we were not going far since our friends Jerry and Christine Downey have their boat at Chesapeake, VA where they are having some repairs done before going down to Satellite Beach, FL We went out and had a nice dinner with them.

Leaving Norfolk

As we are leaving, we are going by work docks

Boats waiting for a bridge opening. There were 4 boats in front of us also.

After the bridge, on the way again

Our 1st lock. You tie up to the wall and tend the lines as you go up.

The lock behind is closing.

Sign showing distances from the lock. Came a long way but still a long way to go!

Finally at dock in Chesapeake, VA. Nice stop.
