Days 9 – 10: November 24-25, 2008

Port: Norfolk (36.83N 76.3W)

For the next 2 days, we stayed in Norfolk to visit with John and Betsy Morris and Scott. It was a very nice visit and enabled us to get some things fixed around the boat, such as our kerosene heater. The heater had died in the craziness of the weather, we believe because the kerosene was dirty and when shaken up, clogged it. We were able to do laundry, thank you all for that, and get some warm showers!! We were also able to grocery shop and resupply on some necessities and pump out (a nasty little job of emptying the boat of *ahem* waste). I, hahahaha, got to miss this task. Luckily, there was a Carib dealer at the marina, so we were able to replace the lost oar. We looked for it on our way to Norfolk, expecting it was still floating around. Wouldn't that have been neat to actuall find it! We enjoyed the break greatly and are ready to get back on the water to head further south.

GWHS!
