After a whirlwind inland tour it was time to kick back at the boat and get ready to head out to our next destination. We took the car back and picked up provisions. We left the afternoon of the 11th once the winds calmed down and the seas greeted us with rolling waves. We arrived at Onancock and found a quiet anchorage. We were going to head into town when low and behold the dingy would not start. So the next morning, Captain Ken rowed into town so we could tour this
eastern shore community. This compact historical town offered everything from antique shops to
gourmet kitchen ware to art to upscale restaurants.
