25: Three Peaceful Days — Belhaven, NC to Norfolk, VA

Well, after no small helping of anxious moments with our malfunctioning bow thruster and anchor windlass caused by our melting battery banks, we had three beautiful days of peaceful cruising as we traveled from Belhaven, North Carolina to Norfolk, Virginia.

We're working to reduce the time between our video releases and the actual events, so this episode spans three travel days instead of our normal single day. One of the benefits of covering a few cruising days in just one episode is that you get to see a more compressed view of a few of our normal day-to-day operations — e.g., waiting for bridges to open, anchoring, docking, and the like.

Anyway, after our three-day trip, we docked at Waterside Marina just in time to attend the America's Great Loop Cruisers Association (AGLCA — https://www.greatloop.org/) Spring Rendezvous. This was our first AGLCA spring rendezvous, but we previously attended two of their fall rendezvous at Joe Wheeler State Park in Rogersville, Alabama on the Tennessee River. They are always wonderful events filled with fellow boaters, lots of fun, and excellent information.

We say it in each episode, but we'll say it again here: Thank you for watching! We appreciate your time and comments.

Onward!
Guy and Vickie...and Sailor too
