Underway around 9 am for a very fine day sailing around Hampton Roads on a rising tide and north wind. Wind proved iffy around Ft. Wool. Dodged a few merchants including the NYK Daedulus and survived a no-touchee close encounter with Catalina 27 - Leonora. Impressive, confidence building performance from new depth gauge and porta-potty. Wind shifted and sent us surging in to the Navy Marina.
