Not going far today so we left at 0850... Our friends Wayne and Judy McPhail that we normally visit in Smitfield, VA have a new home in Hampton,VA on the Salt Pond... destination for today SAlt Pond Marina and Resort Hampton, VA.

FL to CT Day 25
Coinjock, NC to Portsmouth, VA
We left Midway marina this morning approximately 0645. Destination for the day Portsmouth, VA.

The area ahead of has several bridges and one lock. This normally a problem area with bridge restricted opening schedules and space between the bridges... just can't make enough speed to make the openings on time... however, today I noticed in Active Captain that the one problem area North Landing Bridge to Centerville Turnpike Bridge had a note... basically, it said that the bridge could delay the opening schedule by up to 10 minutes for any boats that could not meet the opening time... this was great because it allowed us to transit between the two bridges where the opening times are 30 minutes apart... we arrived 5 minutes after the scheduled opening time and the bridge opened for us... the past we have had to slow down and take 60 minutes.

Because of this we did have to wait 30 minutes at the Great Bridge Bridge as I had planned our departure time at the North Landing Bridge assuming we would have to slow down after it to make the next opening at the Centerville Turnpike Bridge. which was no big deal... we simply pulled over the the free docks just before the bridge and tied up for 30 minutes.

We arrived to our location for the night in Portsmouth, VA at 1330 N36°50.132', W076°17.774'. We were secure at the free docks at 1345. We traveled for 7 hours covering 41.6 nautical miles averaging 5.9 knots.

We arrived to our location for the night at 1345 N36°21.095', W075°56.861'. We traveled for 6 hours and 45 minutes covering 46.5 nautical miles averaging 6.9 knots.
