Yesterday we arrived in the Deltaville area of Virginia after a long day on the Chesapeake. We left Solomons at around 7:45 a.m. and anchored at Fisherman’s Bay (just south of Deltaville) at around 5:30 p.m. last night. All day, we watched a parade of sailboats moving south with us. However, there was an Island Packet that kept pace with us right from Solomon’s. We were going to hale them on the radio, but they ended up calling the John Ray. Turns out, we knew them. They were also from the same marina as we were, NEB in Portsmouth, RI. Norm and Linda sold their house last year and did this trip south. So with a year experience under their belts, they were a great source of information for us. We followed them into this anchorage and visited them on their boat, Ariel (an IP 380) last night. Again, it is a small world!
Today will be another long day as we head to read Hampton Roads. We will probably stay there for a few days and visit Steve’s cousins. We may also have some electrical work done on the boat as well. Steve will also service the engine before we enter the ICW in Norfolk, VA next week. More updates later.
