Another day and another delay. Now the race has been pushed back to Thursday morning as the tropical depression "Sean" is basically stalled in the path of our trip to Tortola. A bored sailor is a dangerous thing so we decided to make the best of it and headed out for a day of sightseeing. One stop was Fort Story which is located right at the opening between the Chesapeake and the Atlantic. The Fort is an active Army base but we were able to get in and see the two lighthouses on the coast. We look forward to the day when we see the light from a boat - not a Subaru.
This area is also notable because it was the first place that the English settlers stepped onshore in the 1600s - the settlers then proceeded on to Jamestown. We have been in Hampton for over a week now so even the Atlantic waterfowl museum (yes, there is one) looks interesting. Weather and the location of the closest liquor store now dominates all crew conversations! Please Sean - go away. I need my liver.
