Dismal to .... ?

Well, if this is considered "dismal"...

Then I lack adequate words to describe this:

Coming out of the Dismal Swamp and finding ourselves smack dab in the middle of the the Naval metropolis of  Norfolk, VA was quite a shocking transition.  Nothing against the Navy or anything.  The landscape was just a little more.... industrial... than we prefer.  We like green things.

We got a little close to "the fence" here and the Navy police came screaming out with blue lights flashing.

They got a good look at these two goofballs and took their guns off us.

We were now in Chesapeake Bay.  We sailed on to Hampton, VA, enjoyed a rendezvous with Silhouette, and pressed on to Annapolis, MD.
