Yesterday was a long, but productive, day.  We made it to Portsmouth on the west side of the Elizabeth River, across from Norfolk.  The entire day was canals, and cuts in narrow rivers and shallow sounds.  I ran aground (for the second time in a week) yesterday.  I was even following behind a barge that made it through but, in some areas, the cuts are very narrow and shoaled into the cut.  Fortunately, the tide was rising and we were off in about 10 minutes.  We went through lots of bridges and one (Great Bridge) lock.  The timing all went pretty well and we got into the Tidewater Marina just after sunset.  Today we will have returned home to the Bay. We are looking forward to sailing again.  The wind today is forecasted to be SW at 10 to 15 so it should be a good sail.  More later.  It's 8am and we need to fuel up and head out.
