With a long sail behind us we arrived at Hampton, VA at 11:00 am this morning after a 26 hour run down the coast of Delaware. Hampton is at a point in Chesapeake Bay that is called Hampton Roads as several different rivers converge at this location. To our south is Norfolk, VA and the start of the Intercoastal Waterway (ICW).

Passing Ocean City, Delaware at sunset. These coastal resorts are amazing for their highrise condo's.














Sunset on the Atlantic Ocean . An enjoyable part of the journey is watching sunrise and sunset with unobstructive views while sailing on the open ocean.













Passing one of several naval ships while heading up the Cheasapeake Bay .













A container ship approaching us in the channel. We had to quickly turn around and cross her wake as she passed.













Here she is after she passes.













We are expecting some rain tomorrow and we are going to layover here. Wednesday we will set out for the ICW and head for Morehead City, NC to bypass Cape Hatteras and then head south down the coast weather permitting.
