Got underway at 7:30 AM, timing our run to arrive at Great Bridge Lock and Bridge for its 10 AM opening. After last night’s fantastic dinner at Restaurant Guads in Portsmouth—easily one of the best Mexican meals we’ve had in ages—we were more than ready for the day.
The lock and bridge, currently operating on a two-hour schedule due to maintenance issues, made for a busy Sunday morning passage. Once through, we pulled into Atlantic Yacht Basin just beyond the lock for the night, to wait out another round of strong winds sweeping through the area.
With only three hours of travel behind us, the shorter day suited us perfectly. We spent the afternoon reading, relaxing, and watching a parade of beautiful boats make their way down the ICW. Spaghetti night!

Great travels. 100 miles in 8.5 hours. Impressive!
