Cruising the ICW - Norfolk, Virginia

After fueling up and topping off our water tanks in Beaufort, NC, it was time to move on. Our goal was to get north to the Chesapeake, but we still had a ways to go. We decided on Norfolk, VA as our next major stopover which meant 4 more days of travel on the ICW dropping anchor in Bay River, Alligator River and North River. As we neared Norfolk, we came upon our first lock of the trip at Great Bridge Lock. Once through the lock, the scenery changed drastically with huge naval ships being worked on and large container ships being loaded by cranes. It was obvious immediately that this was massive naval base.
