Headed to Reedville!

Yesterday we stayed at anchor in Jackson Creek. We were still recuperating from all the work on the boat but we decided that we neglected to clean the dinghy. It like our sailboat has taken a beating from the DC atmosphere. After we gave her a little TLC we took another dinghy ride. We wanted to see the Deltaville Maritime Museum. They had suffered a major fire last year but have made great strides to recoup. They had added a new building where the old one that burnt was located. The gardens were lush and the butterflies were enjoying feasting on the flowers. 

On our way back to our boat we stopped off to visit with an old friend. He was at anchor around the bend in Jackson creek. We met Michael a few years back in No Name Harbor, Key Byscane, Fl. He was in his 80's then and still sailing his catamaran to the Bahamas for the winter months. He plans to haul his boat this month and head to the Bahamas October 1st. I hope we have that same attitude at his age. 

We returned to the boat and gathered our shower stuff and went into FBYC for a refreshing shower. It felt great after a very humid warm day. 

Larry fixed us a cocktail and we relaxed in the cockpit before dinner. 

This morning after breakfast our friend Jack Dozier let us borrow one of his cars to get some provisions. When we returned we hoisted anchor and headed to the bay. We were able to sail most of the distance to the Great Wicomico River. We are at anchor behind Sandy Point. It's very quiet here and we are sharing this very large anchorage with one other boat. The picture is of tonight's sunset as it sets behind a house on shore.
