The rig howls, hull rocks and a heavy morning mist morphs to rain. There’s not much about this to encourage Steadfast to leave her slip at the Hampton Public Piers. Not much, that is, beyond the lure of reciprocity, i.e., a free slip, at Hampton Yacht Club.
There’d been some confusion yesterday, it seems, when a couple of calls to the club failed to secure dockage for the night. But, s’all good today. “Bravo-ten” awaits.
So, between showers, Steadfast slips her lines and is underway for the “crossing”…downstream less than half-a-mile to HYC for the night.
Maybe two, given NOAA’s call for a gale tomorrow. Even though it’s a short trip up the Elizabeth to Mile Marker Zero, gale force winds are more than recommended for a pleasurable day.
Besides, what’s the hurry? And after all, we are a bit closer to Florida. Aren’t we?
Steadfast out.
