Norfolk, VA
Safely tucked in this small harbor, with a Naval aircraft carrier in the back ground. It is now Wednesday November 15th
We are still dogging bad weather, pushing our way down the east coast before crossing Gulf Stream,
On Monday we dropped our dock lines and set sail offshore for Norfolk VA, arriving here yesterday afternoon. Our over night sail went off without a hitch, sailing here in less than 26 hours. In the night the wind picked up for a short period to the 30 + knots range with some confused seas, but later all died down and we sailing calmly into the Chesapeake Bay.
We finally have a great weather window coming to us in the next few days and we will be gladly setting sail then. Our plan is to set sail directly to the West Indies not stopping in Bermuda, unless we need to.
My thought is a career at sea sometimes requires period outside the comfort zone. That’s how sailors grow though longer crossings, higher winds and bigger waves. The bold ones revel in a newfound confidence as every time you go out there is a risk. That is the beauty of it because the ocean is one really beautiful place. But danger is not what is
WX Forecast
Here is a copy of the weather forcast, you can see the large front that is now off in the Atlnatic, and the front that is keeping is glued to the west side of the gulf stream. seeked, because a wise sailor recognizes that there safe passage has much to do with wise decisions, a guardian angel as there own ability.
We will keep our web site updated with a daily position report, if you want to see our progress go to: www.WeBeSailing.com and click on CLICK TO LOCATE US. Our position report will go out each day around 9am which should update our site shortly after.
Cheers,

Possible departure on Friday
Hello to you all Not many waves in this harbour... After the bad weather forecasts for Thursday, you should be able to leave on Friday with a West wind that will become NW for a few days. I am sure that you can't wait to be out at sea again. Relax and enjoy until then and... don't forget to visit your favorite restaurant Eric....
