T&T: Southbounders update 11/1 MILE ZERO

[Scott E. Bulger]

Tidewater and Waterside look to be chock-a-block full, as is AYB and the
walls at Great Bridge.  Everyone is on the move.  We arrived here at 13:30
and called ahead to AYB to find out it was full.  So we stopped early and
got a slip at Waterside.  For those of you who have memories of this being
an adventurous place to stay, meaning dangerous, I can tell you it seems now
to be wonderful.  We met a couple of Segway riding policemen who advised the
area has improved dramatically in the last few years.  So, if Tidewater is
full, this is a good alternative.

With all the boats heading South, it will be wise to keep a weather eye.
There are rumors of a deep low in the SE, but I can't confirm it on any
other weather source?  We hope to make Coinjock on Sunday and cross
Albemarle Monday/Tuesday.

Oh, if any of you have the chance to visit Yorktown, have dinner at The Duke
of York.  It's very casual, and the Lobster with rice dish is out of this
world!  Good Stuff!
