Here
we are in Norfolk, a busy Navy and industrial port. We’re on anchor on the Portsmouth side of
Elizabeth River, tucked away at ICW Mile 0, watching the 24-hour comings and
goings of tows/barges and big ships negotiating their way past tourist boats, pleasure
craft and fleets of colourful racing dinghies.
Who would be harbour master here?
At night, the city rings with harmonies that seem music to our ears
after so long in rural Deltaville.

We
are here to wait for visitors – another brave couple – so we've been out
exploring. Not a lot has changed. Luckily, the nearby MacArthur Centre
(shopping mall) still has Barnes & Noble, a bookstore with coffee lounge
and limited wi-fi (yaay, at least some connection!). We
debated doing a movie but found a table with power outlets so stayed put. After
ordering more cake, a few magazines and several books, naturally...
It
seems we’ve arrived at just the right time.
There’s a boat show on this weekend at the Waterside Park.
