Day 241 June 12 1 mi Waterside Marina Norfolk VA

 
 
The Nanseann is ready to travel and we have a big trip today......1 mile to Waterside Marina which is at Mile Zero.  We are moving to the starboard side of the Elizabeth River to downtown Norfolk to see the sights.  Time to put on our walking shoes.
We have also made a decision about our trip.....too much to see....too little time to do it right....so we will travel until October moving up the waterway.  The Nanseann will spend the winter in heated storage in Brewerton NY.  We will rent a car, return home and return to the boat in May to finish the loop.  We will spend the summer in Canada and on Lake Michigan, be in Chicago by Labor Day and Grand Rivers by October 2014.
