8 Mar - Day #4. Last night's winds on Gwynn Island, VA were strong enough to actually ring Nellie's new bell. Our 75' of chain kept us secure however. Departing Gwynn we see an LNVT at the Marina just north of the draw bridge (maybe Oneida or Blue Jacket). Calm sailing south is a nice surprise after the morning's windy conditions. With Norfolk Harbor water temp at 41F it's not exactly warm, but that doesn't stop some young sail boaters from taking a dip. We drop the hook in Norfolk Harbor just off Hospital point. 49nm today; 134nm total. DBH
