First Day on the Water!

Our time on the bay was pleasant. We had a nice breeze even though for the most part it was self generated. The dolphins teased us all day. They were wonderful to watch but impossible to get a good photo of them. 

Around 1:00 we made our turn to go up onto the James River, then onto the Elizabeth River. Once we turned at the river it became very uncomfortable with the heat and humidity. Very little to no breeze. 

We arrived at Tidewater Marina at 3:15 PM after nine hours of traveling. When we were finally tied up at the dock and started up our air conditioning the temp in the cabin registered 95 degrees. It took several hours to cool down to a comfortable 80 degrees. The air conditioner finally shut off during the night at 78 degrees. We don't like it too cool but 95 was a bit much.
