All of our engine maintenance items are completed. Chad at Zimmerman Marine did a great job. We had the fuel injectors pulled and cleaned, valves adjusted, belt inspected and tightened, coolant drained, flushed and replaced and we had a small oil leaked fixed. I highly recommend the good folks at Zimmerman.
We left the dock this morning early and went south. The winds were forecast to be southwest around 5. They were southwest but up close to 20. The Chesapeake was really choppy. We were able to sail part of the way and had to motor sail the rest. We stopped in Sarah Creek which is up the York River. We will stay here one night and then complete the Chesapeake transit tomorrow. We will go into the Elizabeth River and stop at Hospital Point. That is in Norfolk right next to the Naval hospital. From there we will go back thru the Dismal Swamp Canal and down to Elizabeth City, North Carolina. That much should take us 5 to 7 days depending on weather. We may sit tight for a day or two. This coming week there are thunderstorms and rain in the forecast.
