We untethered early this morning in order to make the 1:30 lock opening. On the way the generator kicked in long enough for us to make coffee, which was good because there were four boats ahead of us, and we waited a good while before getting our position in the lock. Lock operations were smoother this time, and the lock operator was quite the character - he treated us to a short conch concert... The ride up into Norfolk was uneventful, and we were snugly tied up in the Waterside Marina by 1 pm. Downtown is a short walk, and the weather was fine until a short while ago, though the thunderstorm seems to have gone around us.
This is our thirteenth marina, and they have run the gamut from mega funky (Lambs in Elizabeth City) to kind of posh (Lightkeepers Marina in North Myrtle Beach) . This one is under performing - the WiFi does not work and there is no laundry as advertised. But the location is excellent. Our next slip neighbor is named “Realty”, so we cannot be far astray!
