Norfolk, VA



5/23  Update from the ship's librarian, Laurel Angrist:

We’re back after a nice break in Norfolk, VA where everyone had a chance to stroll down the quiet tree-lined avenues, sample some tasty southern fare and enjoy a few lovely nights out on the town! It was wonderful just to stretch our legs and meander amongst the old-fashioned town houses and shaded public parks.

Some among us opted to visit a museum or two to immerse ourselves in the local culture and marine life. Nauticus, the naval history museum and the Chrysler Museum of Art were two standouts!

A large contingent of cadets also headed further afield to nearby Virginia Beach where the bustling waterfront area came to life with the first rays of the summer sun. Nice sand and excellent local beers made for a fabulous time ashore.

Now begins our long stretch across the Atlantic, hopefully avoiding some blustery weather and swells. Stay tuned for more updates soon as we make our way across the pond.
