Delightful sail on first day of Spring.

Trip dates: 
Thursday, March 19, 2020
Trip length: 
1 day
Type of watercraft: 
Sail
  • Reaching in Hamp. Roads
  • Empty NIT piers
  • Only ship on 3/19/20 at Nfk. Int'l. Terms or Va. Int'l Gateway Terms.

Perfect day for a sail.  Mid-70s, winds 7 - 10.  Spinnaker reach from Norfolk Inner Harbor down Elizabeth River into Hampton Rds to Naval Base and close reach home - 14 miles - arrive after dark.  Sadly, only one container ship (Yang Ming) at the massive Norfolk International Terminals and the Virginia International Gateway Terminals, most likely due to the effects of the coronavirus pandemic.
