Forty Foot Surf Board

Chesapeake Bay turned wild after our days on the Potomac. High winds and waves saw us seeking refuge in the small harbor behind Old Point Comfort in Hampton. We sat there a few days and with winds finally below 30 knots surfed our way across the river to Norfolk. In the protected waters of the river we expected calmer seas. Luckily the wind and waves were behind us and we were being pushed toward our destination at something like 8 knots. Waves were not more than 5 feet but close together and powerful. Good to go with them because fighting them was just about out of the question. We were thinking Beach Boys and Jan and Dean while developing a whole new vision of long board surfing. Headed down the ditch next.
