Day 238 June 9 11 mi Ocean Marine Yacht Center Portsmouth VA

 
Departing the Dismal Swamp after waiting for Andrea to pass and the Chesapeake to settle down.  Saddi is like a "new kid"....very active....going on and off the boat w/o permission....makes us wonder how long she has had the infection.
Yesterday evening I heard the water pump running and somehow we lost ALL our fresh water....the tank showed empty.  We have a leak and the Captain can't find it....need to put water in to find out where it is coming out....need to find a boat yard as we have no water at Elizabeth Dock. 
Are we having fun????

 
8:30AM Deep Creek Lock Opening
 
 
Saddi helping the Captain at the lock
 
 
Robert's Office
 
 
Dropped 8 feet...ready to go
 
 
3-mile stretch on Deep Creek
 
 
Coming into Elizabeth River
 
 
Gilmerton Bridge is now 35 feet...no waiting
 
 
Now this is Virginia Scrapping
 
 
Think this is a No Smoking Ship
 
 
Naval Ships Everywhere
 
 
Navy Patrol Boats everywhere...don't come over here
 
 
We will stay at Ocean Marine Yacht Center which has the largest yacht service yards in the Mid-Atlantic region.  If the Captain can't find the source of our water leak I'm sure they can find it Monday.  But, we have shore power and water so we can bathe in a bucket.  Now are we roughing it ??????
