Free docks! EC to Great Bridge

We left Elizabeth City and opted for some quiet nights at anchor during the holiday weekend. We tied up at Coinjock on Memorial Day to top up our water and batteries before trying out a new-to-us experience—the free docks at Great Bridge, VA! We tied up on the side of the bridge. While the dock doesn’t have water or power, this is a fantastic stop with historical in the battlefield park and a nice system of trails to walk. It was also a nice spot for visitors! Mom came for dinner and an old Navy pal stopped by to see us and deliver a treat—it was awesome!

The location makes for an easy pass through the Great Bridge bridge and locks, too. We got an early start, have passed the Navy base, and are on our way to Deltaville for the night. We hit a bit of fog entering the bay, but our loud speaker horn worked great!
