Pretty uneventful day on down the Bay, but we did see dolphins twice. Neither time did they come close enough to the boat for long enough to get pictures, but it’s fun to see them.
Anchored right near Langley Air Force Base, where we saw some jet fighters up close coming in to land – need to bone up on my aircraft ID, but I think they were F-35 Joint Strike Fighters. The route into the anchorage was VERY tricky, lots of zig-zagging through the markers, and pretty shallow in spots. Had to carefully place ourselves amongst some crab pots, but the anchor held solidly all night.
We heard the sound of Retreat being called at 1700, but missed Taps later, as we were sound asleep by then.
Saturday, on to Norfolk.
