Tidewater Yacht Marina, Portsmouth, VA (docked)
October 26, 27 and 28, 2022
This is a good place for us to be docked while I am working. There is good 5G broadband so I can be in Zoom meetings and there’s some interesting places for John to visit.
John learned that there is a very inexpensive ferry between where we are in Portsmouth to Norfolk, which is right across the Elizabeth River. He scouted it out while I was working (and while it was really sunny).
Since John knows that I like ferries and that I have been boat-bound due to all of the virtual meetings, he suggested that we take a ride to Norfolk for dinner.
Once the ferry leaves the dock, it takes about five minutes to get to the other side of the river.
The western skyline of Portsmouth opens up from the Norfolk side of the river.
After we rode the ferry back to Portsmouth, we took a walk in Old Town. The houses there are really pretty and the Halloween decorations were great.
We will be heading south again tomorrow morning. When we were here in July, it was really hot and humid and we didn’t encounter too many issues finding dock spaces in the ICW south of here. Not only are temperatures much cooler these days, there are also many boats heading south now that hurricane season is nearing its end. This means we may not get dock space at our next probable stop in Coinjock and prospective anchorages may also full. We’ll see how things turn out tommorow.
