We moved only a few hundred feet from Atlantic Yacht Basin to the free dock, just the other side of Great Bridge. The belt replacement took two men 1/2 my age and a long pry-bar to do the replacement, one accessing the front of the engine from the cabin and the other laying on top the engine with the engine hatch open. We are very glad we didn't attempt it by ourselves, either position would have been very hard on Lynn.
More good news, since we were waiting for a repair, we weren't charged dockage. The repair total was less than the dockage would have been.
We moved through the bridge on the 1200 opening and tied up immediately. After a relaxing afternoon, we had planned to walk up to a nearby bar for pub grub, but had become so lazy, we called Papa Johns for a medium works pizza. The delivery guy had a little trouble finding us, but made it in the end.
Weather in the Chesapeake is forecast to be windy and lumpy for a couple more days, so we plan to move on to Norfolk and wait for a better window.
