Saturday was a great day in Norfolk. The boys spent the morning at the Nauticus museum. As part of the museum the boys got to tour the battleship USS Wisconsin. The ship was heavily used worldwide in WWII. We got to see what it would be like to be at sea for months at a time. We went for an afternoon sail in a strong breeze and sailed by active battleships, carriers, and submarines. After our sail we had a famous dinner of ribs, mashed potatoes and broccolini. The crew then walked down the harbor and attended a Norfolk Tide baseball. Some of our crew got to cheer for their home team as they were playing the Charlotte Knights. Tomorrow we will head south towards an anchorage on the Alligator River which is halfway to Ocracoke, our next destination.
