Broad Creek Anchorage to Norfolk - ICW Mile Mark 0 Hospital Point
We were
happy to be underway bound for Norfolk and ICW Mile Mark 0. This was our last day on the ICW and we were
anxious to soon be back on the Chesapeake Bay.
The waterway today ran through some of the most diverse scenery anywhere. We began the day in shallow creeks, rivers and
canals located in remote parts of North Carolina and Virginia where few people
live and much of the land is undeveloped swamp and forests. As darkness approached, we found ourselves working
our way through a heavily industrialized seaport with its deep water channels
needed by ocean going ships. Low bridges
and one lock demanded we pay attention to our speed to ensure we arrived in a
time for their openings. We arrived at
Hospital Point a few minutes before sunset and took our place among the dozen
or so other boats anchored there. Dinner
was leftovers. We were in bed early knowing we needed to be up with the sun. Tomorrow, we are on the Chesapeake Bay.
