Soloman Island to Deltaville

We are now in Virginia.  One state down, several more to go.  The weather was great today, 60 degrees and sunny.  About as calm as it gets on the Chesapeake

Of course, no shakedown cruise is complete without fixing the head.  So guess what!  Jon learned all about vacuflush heads today.  With no head we decided to go further than originally planned and pulled into Deltaville. Deltaville has about 6-7 marinas in one area and many boat guys.  The people at Walden's Marina were very helpful, helped us troubleshoot and Jon was able to fix it himself.  We purchased a few spare parts to have on hand for the next time and sat back and hoisted a few.

We are starting to see signs of life.  Yesterday we were in Solomon's Island and it was completely dead.  Even the Tiki Bar was empty

I've included a couple of history signs in Solomons Island.  Oyster packing, fishing and ship building date back to 1680

Today we saw a couple boats out on the bay and here at Deltaville there are a few people working on their boats.  Deltaville was hit very hard by the hurricane and are glad to be back up and running.  A lot of covered moorage with all new roofs and some new walls.

Tomorrow we are headed for Yorktown.  Supposedly there is a free shuttle to Colonial Williamsburg.  The way people hibernate in the winter around here, though we'll see if it's up and running.  Then it's on to Norfolk and Mile Zero of the ICW.  We're getting closer.

Oh and Molly seems to be settling in nicely.
