Mike and Yonetta's Great Loop Adventure: Portsmouth and Norfolk

Tuesday and Wednesday were spent in Portsmouth and Norfolk Virginia. The history of this area takes you back to the beginning. George Washington was here and the naval shipyards were and still are a major force in this area. Navy ships abound as well as large shipping areas. We were able to find a free dock right in the middle of it all. This area makes mobile bay look small. I now understand all of my past history lessons. We toured the Battleship Wisconsin, saw several historical homes and visited the MacArthur Memorial. Below are several pictures to give you an idea of what we saw. We left out this morning and began our trip across Chesapeake Bay. Mother Nature was very much in our favor and we enjoyed the 58 miles to Deltaville across the open bay where we are now tied up in a small marina preparing to close up the boat and come home for our weeks visit. We have met our goal ahead of schedule and the MY THERAPY has done her best for us. We have at this point put on over 2,600 miles of the trip. We are anxious to see family and visit friends for a few days. The next half will take us longer and up through Canada. This blog will pick back up when we return. What a first half!
