Norfolk, to Broad Creek, NC

Had a fantastic first day on the ICW!  Pulled up anchor from Hospital Point, Portsmouth (Norfolk, VA) which is mile 0 of the ICW.  Todays leg took us through 14 bridges and 1 set of locks.  Most of the bridges had to be opened for us to pass through - The bridges were either the swing or bascular type.  We were able to make 61 miles today, anchoring at Broad Creek, which is just before the Albarmarle Sound, in North Carolina. We are 3 weeks ahead of last year's schedule and sit's surprising to see as many boats already heading south.  Normally, we would stay in Annapolis, MD until the end of the week visiting the annual sail boat show there.
