We are spending a couple of weeks at Bay Point Marina in Norfolk so Amy can get to the nearby airport for an Atlanta trip and give us an address for package deliveries. The marina shares a basin with the navy so the on water security is pretty tight. The bad news is the marina is under renovation so bath house facilities and wifi are not available. Jim was amazed to see several old boats here from the 60’s & 70’s including Pearsons, Columbias, and Irwins. We were also able to catch up with friends Mike and Steve. Steve was off within days for a yacht charter in Greece so Mike played host showing us some of the local dining haunts.
