Chesapeake

I weighed anchor at 8:30’wanting to get a free dock at Great Bridge. It was only 15 miles but there were three bridges that I had to wait for.  I got a dock and docked BELLUM at 12:15. 

Went to explore Norfolk, very much a Navy town.  I hopped on a city bus for $2.25 for a daily pass (senior rate) an toured around.  Unfortunately my phone battery was low and the backup battery I brought along was dead.  Eventually I got back to the boat and did some shopping for nes USB cables, bought more Ramen, and some brandy and vermouth.

I decided to stay an extra day to visit the USS Wisconsin at the Nauticus center. It was quite interesting.
