When we were in New York, somehow we found an electronics store and were able to purchase a special cable to allow us to connect our small camera to the computer and then to the Internet. Here are several old pictures that were taken in Great Bridge, south of Norfolk, VA.
Just a word of explanation. Everyone was kidding me about waiting to take this trip when the price of fuel is hitting all time highs. Well it sure does hurt when you have to buy fuel in the hundreds of gallons but the price is usually quite a bit less than gasoline. The first is a shot of the price of fuel, which was $2.30 for diesel. This was fairly typical, except in big cities or very remote locations. You see, congress mandated that the marine industry does not have to pay any of the highway or road taxes that add so much to the price of gasoline.
The second shot is of Judy standing in front of a boat out of the water at the boat yard. This boat was slightly bigger than our boat, so you can see there is a lot of boat below the waterline. The last shot is the present day bridge at Great Bridge which was the site of a Revoluntary War battle. That's one of the ever present tug and tow which travel the Intercoastal Waterway.
Remember, you can double click any picture to enlarge it.
