A new MWR experience—Norfolk

A few days of smooth seas and peaceful anchorages near Solomon’s Island and Deltaville delivered us to Norfolk and yet another week in a marina. I know, we are really changing it up this year! 

Why Norfolk? It allowed us relatively easy access to public transportation so that we could continue to move our car south and the MWR marina at Naval Station Norfolk had a great reputation and great weekly rate. It was also close to family and friends. Hands down, this is the best MWR marina we’ve been to so far when considering amenities, condition of the docks, and staff. 

We didn’t really explore the sites of Norfolk (unless you count the paintball field and skate park), but we visited with local and NC friends, gave the topsides a coat of wax, and filled the bilge with food and drinks. I’d call that a good week. Oh, then the remnants of TS Eta hit and flooded everything. So much rain!

We would definitely hit this marina up again...maybe in the spring!
