We left Cape Charles Sunday morning and headed to Norfolk, VA where we stayed for two days at our friends' yacht club. The trip through the harbor is always an experience. The U S Navy has a ton of ships of all types. Stephanie says it gives her goose bumps. Get too close and they will shoot at you. Security is tight and I am sure they know who you are and where you are at the whole time you are in their zone. Sunday night, our friends, Steen and Trudy, took us to a reception at the club for Anna Tunnicliffe, a gold medal winner in sailing at the 2008 Olympics. The Yacht Club sponsored her and she works at the club training young sailors. It was exciting to meet a gold medal winner and see the medal. After the reception they treated us to dinner at the club. It was a great night and we had fun catching up. Monday they gave us a car to use which was great. We got a lot done including a hair cut for me (it was a hair cut or dog tags) and lots of good eats for the next leg of our trip. Thanks, Steen and Trudy, for everything!
The next few days we will need to keep an eye on Hurricane/Tropical Storm Hannah, predicted to hit the East Coast.
