Today is Tuesday, September 13th and we are back in the York River Yacht Haven to stay for the next 5-6 months as we can't go any farther north until the spring. Weather permitting, we'll explore the east coast of the Chesapeake Bay this winter.
We left last Friday and went to Deltaville which took us about 6 hours cruising and were there until this morning. After several days there, we had pretty much decided that's where we would stay and then we moved into a permanent slip which is a covered slip. Unfortunately, it has a metal roof and we could not pick up any TV, stereo, computer, or phone. As Mike wants a covered slip for the winter months, the decision was made to return to York River. And so here we are in a covered slip with a wooden roof that allows signals to come through so we can use everything. The cruise back was very uneventful and smooth - light winds and temperatures that weren't too hot. After watching the weather tonight, it looks like we're going to have a big change on Thursday night with a cold front dropping temps down to the sixties for a couple of days.
While at Deltaville, we took bike rides down beautiful roads and saw wild turkeys crossing the road along with lots of beautiful deer. We thought that area was much prettier than it is here but there is more to offer in this location, even though it's not that much.
We're renting a car this week-end and will explore the neighboring towns such as Yorktown, Williamsburg and Jamestown.
Beginning in the Spring of 2011, this is a story of a journey in our 36' Heritage East Trawler as we cruise The Great Loop, a circumnavigation of Eastern North America, along the shoreline of the United States and Canada - truly a trip of a lifetime.
