Tall sailing ship visiting for the weekend
Sailing Skiff
Waterfront damage from the storm
We left Norfolk around 10:30 a.m. and arrived at the Hampton Public Piers at 1:00 p.m. Hampton was hit by a tornado Friday evening. It was their annual pirate festival with many people in period costumes, live music and vendors. As we arrived in the harbor we were met by sailing skiffs and tender boats manned by authentic-looking pirates. Shortly after we arrived the cannon shots began. We talked to some people who experienced the storm. Many of the vendors lost merchandise and tents and there was considerable damage on the waterfront. Hampton was a great stop. We plan to stop at Bay Creek Marina and Resort in Cape Charles, VA tomorrow.
