Today we sailed the S.V. OWL from Deltaville, VA to Norfolk, VA. We had light wind and it was a slow motor/sail down the Chesapeake Bay. We had calm seas and the motor is running well. We spent a good bit of the day planning our next few days through the various sounds and canals in North Carolina.
Our greatest victory of they day was getting Captain Jim Baker's phone back up after it's dip in the bilge of the S.V. OWL. The phone started working inside of the AT&T store as we were about to purchase a new one. After some minor surgery under indirect supervision from contractor Andrew Godfrey, it is now fully functional. We were able to recover these pictures from our adventure into rural Virginia to get supplies to fix the cooling system onboard.

They even like North Carolina BBQ in Virginia.
Tomorrow we will pull off docks and head for Coinjock, NC on the far side of the Currituck Sound.
Goodnight from Norfolk, VA.
