The weather looks promising for a departure to the Caribbean on 11/11/11. We spent the day motoring south to Hampton, VA to be closer to our exit point to the Atlantic Ocean. There was little to no wind and it was a very grey day. The only excitement was when a big (over 100 ft) Navy hovercraft buzzed around us.
Hampton is packed with cruising boats. Many are part of the Caribbean 1500 race/rally. Others are participating in the Salty Dog Rally. Most have been waiting since the beginning of the month for a good weather window and seems like everyone is planning to leave tomorrow. There may be a traffic jam...
