28 knots at 1980rpm all the way and it was 6-8' the last fifty miles before the Bay Bridge... Thats what I call service... Never hopped or pounded once... Beat the hell out of the waves and I think spray we made is still landing...

I'm here on the western side of the Pamlico Sound, Belhaven- Bath area. If you need anything give me a shout. I'll be on the docks somewhere. Send me a PM and I'll give you my cell# if needed. Frank, SeaPower

Deep,
Where are you docked tonight? Are you locking through tommorrow? Glad you had a good run this far. If you are game, I'll slide down the creek and pick you up for some gator fishing tonight.

Deep,
you better hold her tight in Norfolk for a couple of days or ease down the ICW to Coinjock. I'm sure you've seen the forecast...........Gail warning, gusting to 50 next two days, ouch !!!
The north east will take all the water out of the ditch on the south side of the locks in Great Bridge, lots of stumps will be showing !!!!

Good luck,
Troy

Am stuck in Norfolk... This sucks... They locked the bridges below me in down position. They blame bad weather. I blame the new president!
Tough night of sleep. Had a drip... All that spray got up between the rub rail and hull and found a path to my forehead. Viking water torture????

At least parked right to seal the leak and no more drip. Ship store hot dogs taste like cardboard....

Don't know the speed for sure but the sail boats in here arelaid over 30 degrees or more. Full whitecaps and chop inside the sea wall only 40 feet away...: And thats on the lee side!eek:

I'm in Caroilina! Ok Coinjock isn't exactly beverly hills but its closer to Florida than I was... Did you know that there are 15 brigdes from Norfolk to here?
I think I knew that but tried to forget.... Four hours to make 20 miles then one hour and a couple minutes to make the last 30...
Maybe I should do a Deeps waterway guide...
The first three bridges no problem. The next one "Glimerton" That sloth took way way long to open though its demand. I pushed the "no wake" deal as far as I dared and got to the Dominion Steel Bridge...
Doosh berry had to keep me from beating that gal to death. A gal of "color"... I got there 50 seconds early and she refused to open instead having me wait for an hour. No cars there just the ***** of the ditch too f*****g lazy to mash the button...
Pulled into a place called great bridge. The door was closed in front of me then behind me... Funny thing the tide went out two and a half feet in just a couple minutes...
As the freakish one cleared the bridges. I could see all the boats that left pre dawn in fron't of me. Since many of the bridges don't open between 6 ands 9AM... iT makes no sense to get going that early. With daylight short in front of us and 80 miles between coinjock and the next tie up we made a call. Didn't want to run out of daylight in unfamiliar water.
We got the last available slip!
Talk about shoe horned in... TH yacht behind me has his burgee slapping my tower leg and is anchor just over my transom door. I'm gonna ask the yacht in front of me if I can stand in his pit and wax the underside of my pulpit...

Deep,
while you are at the Coinjock marina you have to get a slab of the famous Prime rib, tell Louis Troy said give you the BIG portion and don't forget to have a couple of Pissed of Capt. with a broken rudder cocktails.

Good luck,
Troy

32 ounces of cow on the reserve as we speak...
Man are ther a lot of pissed off people who didn't make the call... Rafted up. Tied off to trees... That storm really caused a log jam... Water is screaming past us right now. Wind blew the bays dry and now its all trying to get back in...
