We are back in some old stomping grounds…….kind of!

Two days ago we departed Hospital Point in Norfolk and headed into the Chesapeake Bay.  It was foggy, rainy and not much wind.  Not a very good greeting from Mother Nature that is for sure.  But we headed north anyways since there are many things that need to be accomplished this summer.  There are a bunch of things we want to do for Nati, grand kids to harass and so on………  We have a feeling it will be very busy.

They came out to greet us!

and this guy popped out of the fog!






























First though, check out our freeloader that jumped on board at Oriental.  Maybe jump is appropriate but I think we brought his living quarters on board.  First though say goodbye to Dingh-go and hello to our new dink.  Our little frog friend was hiding and the next day when we were having breakfast he squawked a very load noise and we thought a bird was on our boom!  Nope….just this little 1 inch guy.  We couldn't just throw him overboard so we gave him a paper plate raft.  With luck some big fish didn't get him for breakfast.

goodbye Dingh-go

Our new ride!


Smile!

Just like Moses…..his ark.


























































But first, on to Deltaville to see what sv Quicksilver is up to.  No good, that is what!  It looks like these guys have enjoyed their first winter in Florida on the boat and are looking forward to extending the range of travels to the Bahamas this coming winter.  We had some really great shrimp (beer boiled) and a good dinner at the marina.  Thanks again!

Is that coconut rum Marguerite?

From there we headed across the bay to Onancock, VA to check out the little town.  More pictures on that when we head into town today.  Tomorrow's agenda……more to the north.
