The cold front is finally moving north and east, so we will set off early tomorrow to make at least the first lock on the Great Dismal Swamp. We spent today re-prepping the boat, which had slightly reverted to "cottage" status during our stay here, dropped some of the extra lines, and made an excursion to the Norfolk West Marine (very helpful folks, thanks Mike for finding and holding our new Fortress anchor). Our neighboring J will be doing a three hop outside run, probably starting Saturday, but we will stick with the inside plan at least until Beaufort NC.
Here's a picture taken from the Sunset Grill at Willoughby Harbor - gives a little bit of the gray-on-gray that we've seen since early Tuesday.
Next news from the Swamp, or beyond - not counting on a connection until maybe Elizabeth City - Saturday night?
PS to Aude: I was up until after 1 a.m. on Tuesday/Wednesday, celebrating by texting with Alex, my mom, my sister and Dawnna. Hope you are well and not working too hard (but of course I know better. Best to Rus.)

Looks wet and cold! Meanwhile, the weather here at the homefront is awesome! We've been sleeping with the windows open and the AC off! Nice. We are looking foward to a 'near miss' of Hurricane Paloma.
