The marina and parts of the river are covered with ice, but it's not very thick here in the marina. According to the paper, the ice on Chesapeake Bay is 6 to 8 inches thick! A Coast Guard cutter had to break a channel through the ice so a boat could take food and supplies to the people who live on Tangier Island. Tomorrow it's supposed to warm up.
The megayacht muscled its way through the ice and left. Glad to get rid of it; the crew kept disconnecting the washer in the laundry room so they could run a hose to their boat and fill their zillion-
gallon water tank. They also moved the vending machine, so it blocked access to the washer. And of course they never put anything back.
The cruise boat, Spirit of Norfolk, also went out for a while. Not the greatest day to go for a cruise. A poor seagull was frozen in the ice in back of the Spirit of Norfolk. I hope the ice broke up enough so the bird could get free before the boat ran over it.
Finally managed to get to a movie, and it was excellent: Shadow-
lands with Anthony Hopkins. What a superb actor he is! He doesn't seem to be acting at all; he becomes the character he's portraying. This movie was a true story, about C. S. Lewis. It was beautifully done. Hopkins played Lewis.
Roy rode his bike over to Boat/U.S. and got caught out after dark. Fortunately, he made it back okay.
