On
a bright and sunny morning we weighed anchor and set off for Bermuda.
It takes more than two hours to transit the channel from Freedom
Point to Cape Henry and to the open ocean. Norfolk is home to the
largest naval dockyard in the world, home to numerous aircraft
carriers, warships, submarines and ancillary vessels.

Understanding that commercial and naval traffic has priority in the shipping lane we
were motoring outside the channel to the south and east of the green
markers. First we were passed by a submarine and its escort of out
riders. Then an incoming warship and an unidentified something else
being towed by a tug in bound.
