We left Norfolk at 11:11 and traveled 41 nautical miles north (1 nm = 1.15 statute miles) arriving at our anchorage in Mobjack Bay at 4:30. We didn't have to drop the anchor - we rafted up to our friends Curt and Cindy on their boat Classic Cyn - a 48 foot Hatteras. They will leave in November heading to the BVIs. Our first day was COLD and it rained. We didn't get wet as we are sheltered in the fly-bridge from wind and rain. But since the back of the fly-bridge is open we got a little chilly. No problem - we just went below and steered from the lower helm. The visibility isn't as good, but in open water it's not a problem. Here is a picture of our anchorage - it is overcast and you can see rain drops on the handrail. At one time John Lennon and Yoko Ono owned a house on this bay. We plan to travel 52nm tomorrow.
