Lat 36 20 94; long 75 56 94; Fuel 158 gal; eng 824.30 Coinjock Marina Mile 50
We learned last night that one of the bridges along the way would only open a specific hours on Sunday 8, 12 and 4. We could not make the 8, as the bridge was about 40 miles away, so we left at 7:30 in order to make the 12. The entire run was pretty good until we got into a 25 boat line-up for the bridge opening. It was a unique experience looking down the river at the line up, slowly moving down the river towards the bridge. People got a little testy because of the line-up, telling people to get closer to the boat ahead of them, trying to pass etc. Fact was, it was impossible to go anywhere until the bridge opened. Dumb! Sometimes, I wonder if people have ever taken a boating course particularly about the rules of the road and courtesy.
Anyway we finally made it and pulled into Atlantic Yacht Basin. We are going to leave the boat here until the 31st in order to get some maintenance work done. Over the next couple of days we will clean up the boat and wash and wax the decks. On Wednesday, we will be driving to Atlanta so Brenda can catch a flight to Victoria to see her mother and Laura as she will be out in BC for a conference. I will jsut travel around Virginia and play golf and visit Civil War sites.
Our friends from Rambler will be moving on tomorrow, so we got together for a drink tonight.
