Tuesday 20 October, Norfolk – Portsmouth VA (20 Miles)

We finally managed to get going! Yeeehah!

Our first day was an easy one from Norfolk down to Portsmouth we planned to stage for an early departure the next day to head down the Dismal Swamp Canal.

Passed mile marker 0, the red buoy 36 on the Elisabeth River, which marks the start of the ICW (Intracoastal Water Way), just before Portsmouth. This is the statute mile marker for our 1090 mile trip south to Miami.

We got into P-town pretty early around 13:00 and enjoyed a walk around historic downtown in the beautiful sunny weather.
