  • Approaching the high rise
  • Just a dock in the middle of nowhere
  • A plantation is really just a farm, but it does roll off the tongue little sweeter
  • Just two houses sitting on an island connected by a bridge
  • Cape Charles Lighthouse
  • It's all these guys out in the bay completing an ASA course
  • Fish are running
  • You can't park there. Please learn where there is and is not water. Public safety can not pull you off a grounding.

Looks like we've made it.    Went up the inside passage of Virginia's Eastern Shore.    It really is beautiful up inside the barrier islands.   Planning on a return trip at high tide in the future.

  • This guy gave zero f$#@s and sailed all around the Little Creek Harbor

Where did these temperatures come from.   Hope this isn't a harbinger for a wicked winter.

  • All it needs is a little blue pill and words of encouragement
  • Linkhorn by the Oceanfront
  • This dog is living his best life
  • The Narrows

The outside was nasty.   The Northeast wind bringing cooler temps also brought 4'-6' seas.   So, inside it was.

Absolutely fantastic day on the bay and ocean.     Need more days like this get out and explore.     Citizen had a large Trump banner and towed up and down the Oceanfront.     Liberals heads were exploding, many called in demanding the police remove this from the water.    Sorry Karen, it's called free speech.

Not sure how people who cruise full time use apps like Predict Wind and Windy to plan their voyages.   In my experience they are never correct.    I wanted a nice easy sail, maybe anchor and swim, have a few beers.    Apps said winds out of the south at 5-9.     Fast forward to reality, winds 16-20 gusting to over 26.    Big difference, so no anchoring or swimming.  Rant over, go about your day.
