Leaving Yorktown and heading to Deltaville. We lucked out and this leg of the Chesapeake Bay was very calm. Low and behold while we pulled into Dozier's Regatta Point to dock the boat, there was Rick and Roll! Betsy asked if we were lost on the loop! We laughed and explained that we are taking two years to do the loop so we can experience more sites along the way. We were convinced when we did this leg of the trip we would not see any loopers and here we are again with some seasoned loopers! Ken is in heaven because this little community once known as the "Boat Building Capital of the World" now offers a multitude of marine facilities, yards, and associated nautical-based businesses and services. Deltaville was appropriately renamed for its location on a delta at the mouth of the Rappahannock River. The Maritime Museum has burned down and they have planned a festival this weekend to raise some money for re-building. This will be a safe haven for us for a few weeks while we tour Virginia by rental car.

Enjoying dinner with Betsy and Rick on Rick and Roll at Cocomos. What a cute weekend get away! 
A beautifully restored 1938 Trumpy docked near us for the evening and we all admired her.

Enjoying a beautiful sunset in Jackson Creek.
Looks like you have a mini-looper rendezvous going on. I see from another blog we follow that Rick and Pam on Tourist are also there in Deltaville!! Be sure to say "Hi" to Rick and Betsy for us and tell Rick and Pam we will see them in Florida this winter.
ReplyDeleteHope to see you guys soon.

So good to read your blog and see your faces. We are in the North Channel at Blind River, Ontario. Georgian Bay and the North Channel are as beautiful as everyone says. You will really enjoy it when you arrive next year. We are leaving Raydiance in Muskegon, MI for the winter. Plans are to return next June and possibly check out Lake Superior before heading back to Kentucky Lake. Take care and enjoy your fall cruising!
