Beautiful sunrise as we prepared to leave.
On our route out of Portsmouth, we saw many more US Naval vessels docked along the piers in Naval Station Norfolk.
Much better view of the US Navy from the water. Even though the security patrol boats keep pleasure craft at a safe distance. One of the War Ships announced that it was preparing to leave the pier as we passed by but we did not get to see it depart as it does take a little longer for these big floating tanks to get underway.
Naval Hospital Ship
Carnival Cruise ship heading into Norfolk, empty and probably heading in for repairs.
Lots of commercial traffic too with the ever present hard working tug boats everywhere.
The crossing to Cape Charles was a little bumpy but we made it to the town marina in good time. The marina is brand new and a welcome change to some that we have visited.
May 15: We strolled around the small town but many places were closed as it is still quite early in the season, particularly for week days. Unfortunately, the brown dog was on the closed list but we did manage to buy some of their homemade ice cream at one of the open deli shops. Very good ice cream too.
