Impressions of Annapolis to Beaufort

Annapolis to Norfolk

Thomas Point Shoal Lighthouse  was built in 1875 and is still an active Beacon of Navigation in the Chesapeake Bay not too far from Annapolis
we were happy to be on our way but boy it was cold!
already close to Norfolk, very typical to see many military marine ships
the anchorage in Norfolk/Portsmouth, looking direction Norfolk
a very military anchorage
somewhere in Portsmouth
typical East coast houses
we had found a funny general store
the store offered almost everything
Christmas decoration next to household items – I liked that!
Christmas tree in front of the famous Thyme on the River restaurant
This pavilion displays a first order Fresnel lens from the second Hog Island Light. The lens began its service in 1896. Originally built in 1852, the first building was destroyed by erosion and rebuilt in 1896, only to be deactivated in 1948.

Some ICW pics from Norfolk to Beaufort

a few miles behind Norfolk
Great Bridge Lock
a half sunken sail boat
in the ICW close to CoinJock
at an anchorage in North River, at night the tug boats push even two containers through the ICW, we were glad that they don’t do it at daytimes as it can get pretty narrow in some areas
such a beautiful sunrise
the big Linsay C. Warren Bridge about half way to Beaufort
the good part of the ICW is one can easily cook😋
somewhere in ‎⁨Pungo River Alligator River Canal⁩, ⁨Fairfield⁩, ⁨Outer Banks⁩
‎⁨Gale Creek⁩, ⁨Hobucken⁩, ⁨Outer Banks⁩

Waiting to get hauled out

when I came back from laundry this beauty passed by Altimate
El Capitano as Santa Claus
sending Christmas wishes to Santa
I made some xmas cookies “Spritzgebäck” didn’t turn our very well but hey who cares – they tasted good
the new hydraulic ram had just arrived
at the Bock Marina just before being lifted
the first pic of the bend ram, I know its hard to see
the lift
opening the side plates to reach the hydraulic ram
the boat just stayed in the lift for the replacement
the proof that it was freezing cold, still some frost on the wooden planks from the dock
finished!!!! Yesssssss
