Nearing the end of the Chesapeake Bay, October 20, 2012

Fall is coming to Virginia and the colors are just starting to show.



We spent three nights at Deltaville. This was partly because we were waiting for the wind to turn around to the north and partly because we liked it there. After the first night at anchor, we moved into a dock at the Fishing Bay Yacht Club. This very nice club offers one night's free dockage to members of other yacht clubs. By tying up to the dock, we were able to access the Internet, get unlimited fresh water, showers, and walk to the grocery store. We took full advantage of all of these. We did a thorough boat cleaning and got all the salt off. We took real showers for the first time in about ten days and walked to the store. The store owner gave us a ride back.

The night we stayed at the dock we got together at the club house with three other couples that we have been traveling with. Chris from Groovin and George from Heritage played their guitars and sang. It was a fun evening. They are both very talented and although they only met that day, it seemed to us as though they had played together for years. We enjoyed listening to all the old songs we know and appreciate.

In the morning, after getting our dockside chores out of the way, we moved back to the nearby anchorage for the night.

The next morning we hauled anchor at 8:00 am and had a nice sail down the bay to Chisman Creek. We got settled early enough in the day that we were able to listen to the Michigan-Michigan State game while we prepared a fantastic dinner of Jambalya. Michigan won, which made the dinner even sweeter for Dan.




As we came in to Chisman Creek, we passed several duck blinds. No one was hunting, but these guys clearly know how to build comfortable blinds.

The weather continues to be unbelievably nice, sunny and mid 70's. Tomorrow we head to Norfolk.
