August 20
The thunder storm has subsided, but the rain is in the forecast for the majority of the day. We decided to travel 42 miles to Gloucester Point. After passing many impressive ships we entered the Chesapeake Bay with 1 1/2 foot seas. Not too bad, but enough rocking and rolling to put the breakables away in the boat. Once we arrived at Gloucester Point mid afternoon we had sunshine. We anchored in a quiet bay and took the dingy down the York River to explore the town and beach. We walked to the Waterman's Hall visitor center which featured some of the ongoing studies of marine life by the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.
