The trip today started out well until we hit the channel. This big guy was in front of us for the first several miles through the Norfolk bridges and then we passed him with little room to spare after the tug captain gave us the OK. The trip to the locks was fine, and then after exiting the lock we followed a barge pusher for it seemed like forever in the canal. The tug captain finally gave me the OK to pass, again in a tight situation. The rest of the day went well and the weather was great. All the delays put us in our anchorage a little late but the anchorage is another great one. We are about 60 miles into North Carolina and tomorrow we have a short trip to the Alligator River where we will stay at the Alligator River Marina, which is well protected so if Hannah comes our way as predicted we should be fine.
