Norlfolk, Rebel Marina

    Enjoying ourselves at Rebel Marina, spending time with Dave our friend,owner of Rebel Marina. After catching up since we last seen him way back in Waterford, Ny.
 Dave lives aboard his converted tug on site, in the marina that was started by his father in 1973. His sons took running of the marina when he died. Dave is the Manager.

 We walked to the beach about 1 mile from the marina, and had a nice stroll along Atlantic ocean. We met some fisherman who had a 3 nice size fish. We were not staying long enough in Virginia to buy a license so we are going to have wait till we can catch our dinner.

We cleaned up the boat then took his boat to downtown Hampton for dinner.
After a short ride, traveling at 25mph, we tied up at the town dock. What a change from the speed of Mistress that has a comfortable speed of 5.5knts.
 Dave chose a favourite place of his called the Conch and Bucket.



 The next morning we went into downtown Norfolk, to visit the famous USS Wisconsin which is docked beside the Nauticus center.

Of course we had to have ride on their new Light Rail which travels throughout the downtown area. These are very similar to the new streetcars that Toronto has bought.
