From Norfolk to Coinjock

The trip out of Norfolk was uneventful.  We couldn't get fuel at the yacht club because we left before the pumps opened.  We motored for about an hour through downtown Norfolk and found a marina that sold fuel.  We started to encounter the first of the bridges that have to open so we can get through.  The first one opens when you call them, but after that it is on the hour and 1/2 hour.  We lost about an hour overall during the day waiting for the locks and bridges.  You can see the picture of Playmobil tied up in the lock as the water level changes.

After the last bridge we made time to Coinjock, NC where we spent the night.

We plan a fairly early departure as the clocks have changed and it will get dark early.
