Chesapeake

I weighed anchor at 8:30’wanting to get a free dock at Great Bridge. It was only 15 miles, but I had to wait for three bridges.  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) and 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 new 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 pretty interesting.
