Charmed and Snark spent two nights in Mill Creek in worrisome weather, weather that has you up on a regular schedule to check anchoring gear, boat location, and neighbor location. Gales were predicted but measured maximum wind speed was just over 30 knots. While barely comfortable for brief periods each tide cycle when current and wind caused the boat to sit parallel to the waves, the anchorage was comfortable enough.
After Mill Creek we voyaged three whole miles to the Hampton Town Pier. Buffet breakfast at the hotel. Laundry within walking distance at Hampton University. Boat chores. Dinner with Blew Yonder Tom and Tammi. A stop at Wal Mart.
After a cold night, a few more boat chores while Charmed prepares for a short ride to Portsmouth, hopefully for a spot in the South Ferry Basin. Snark is already off to Atlantic Marine in Chesapeake City for some alternator and engine analysis.
