Mile "0" May 27-28




Today we hit a milestone on our journey home by getting to Mile 0 of the Intracoastal Waterway. In the Florida Keys we were at about mile 1,200 and here in Norfolk VA at the Red Buoy #36 is where this great waterway begins. So - CHEERS! We made it this far!! Right by this buoy we anchored at a spot called Hospital Point beside the Tidewater Marina. We paid the marina for landing our dinghy and using their facilities which included a floating pool. Right there amongst the floating docks they have this salt water pool that was a hit with Christopher. While we were at the poolside we met a man who was visiting on a friends boat and they were all from Ontario. He was from Burlington, where much of my family lives and is where we dock Tiffany Rose. AND his daughter lives in Orangeville and she taught us our pre-natal classes, and is the wife of the current mayor. Go figure!
