[Kevin's Post]We actually set an alarm to get up early this morning since we wanted to be waiting for the first drawbridge south at 8:30. One look out the cockpit door and we knew we weren't going anywhere anytime soon. The fog was so thick we could only see about 150 feet. We haven't seen fog like that since New England last summer. So, we went back to bed. The fog finally broke around 11:00 and we got moving. Today was a slow day, we went through 1 lock and 7 drawbridges having to wait for each, and only covered about 30 miles. Some of the bridges open on request, and some of them only open on the half hour or hour. So if you don't time your arrival at the bridge, you have to maneuver around and try to hold your position against the wind and current. Tonight we're anchored in some marshes just north of the VA / NC border.
Where we are:
Location=Blackwater Creek, VA
Lat=36 35.888 N
Lon=76 04.011 W
