10-21, 10-22, and 10-23-10, Norfolk, VA


Saturday, October 23, 2010

We left the Weehawken Lincoln Marina at about 8:30 AM on the 21st (Thursday) and sailed past Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.  The winds were predicted to be out of the WNW at 10 to 25 knots.  That is a little on the high side, but a perfect wind direction.  The predictions were right on the money. We made it to Norfolk and into our slip by 7:30 AM on Saturday, the 23rd.  The weather was great on the off shore trip.
