When we left Fort Story, my next objective was the Life Saving Museum at the Old Coast Guard Station in Virginia Beach. This was right on Atlantic Ave. but was completely overshadowed (literally) by tall hotels on either side.

We got there about 9:15, but this was another place that's not open until 10. After Bob parked, I walked back and took a picture and then we went on.

I wanted to get on I-264 from 22nd street directly. But for some reason we couldn't seem to do that, and in the bright sun it was hard to see the computer screen.

We got fuel while we were wandering around trying to find I-64 Bob took a turn onto US 17 which on both the AAA map and the computer map was called VA 104. We ended up crossing the Steel Bridge over the Virginia Cut route on the ICW at 10:15.

Next circling South Mills

    Thank you for the info on the life saving museum. It is now on our things to see list. The book "The Beach" how do I get ahold of it? Joyce
