The long awaited return to Hampton Roads. Arrived in Redart around 10:40 and went through the usual pre-sail checklist. Lengthy discussion regarding all repairs accomplished. The wood work is beautiful and strong. R&B looks good (still some cleanup as always) and a few minor items still to be done (by the owners). Underway just at 12:00 with a final wave to our superb ground transport officer and very well compensated carpenter. Motored out through the "Hole in the Wall" and out to "boy" "3" where we raised the mainsail and turned to starboard. Strong following sea and north wind pushed us south very fast. Pewich clocked an instantaneous 8.7 on the GPS. One very exciting (but planned) jibe. We carried on until around 15:00 when the wind slackened and it was time for some help from the noble motor. As evening approached, decided to cut the transit short and pull into Salt Ponds Marina. An easy approach channel then past gargantuan homes. We arrived at slip G-3 just at sunset (glorious) and to a warm welcome from the Burwellians and the just- arrived Ground Transport staff. Plan for a week long stay and then departure on Halloween back to home port (wherever that may be!)
