Sirocco

Hampton, VA

We are anchored in Hampton, VA. A small harbor with a few marinas and...internet connection. Very quiet, gentle breeze, great evening here. Splashed Sirocco at Noon and she ran well. Saw lots of BIG navy ships and cargo ships while crossing Norfolk ship yards.
We are off to Yorktown on the York River tomorrow, and then to Deltaville on Sunday July 3. Deltaville, VA is where we bought our boat last year. We will be anchoring out in both spots. Weather seems to be on our side. We have not decided where to be on the 4th.

"Gentlemen, I have the honor to inform you that the ship of the line Sirocco repaired in this yard, went off the stocks this morning just before noon, in beautiful style and without any accident whatsoever."  Captain Michael Smart July 1, 2011 (after quote from Capt. John Cassin, 1820).
