There is acually a good place to crawl right up the street from the shipyard. Its called huntington beach and there are plenty of rocks right next to the boat ramp to crawl on. It is at the foot of the james river bridge on the newport news side.

Might head out there this weekend.

Went out on Saturday and the tide was really high.

So as long as the tide isn't extremely high we may be out there Sat.
