This afternoon we pulled into our marina in Portsmouth Virginia, which is at Mile Market 0 on the Atlantic IntraCoastal Waterway. While we did a lot of this outside, we are now 734 miles from home port!

Yep, we got that front through Hampton. Luckily we were at anchor off the public piers. Swung us up towards the North bank and over a crab pot. It popped back up again when the front passed!

Day 13, anchored off downtown Hampton Virginia. Blew around 30 during the night which was a surprise, but we woke to find Tropical Depression 3 had formed right off the coast overnight. NOAA forecast saying it could be a named storm by end of day. So more rain and wind forecast for today and some of tomorrow. We had planned on going round to Yorktown this morning but will hold off on that decision until later. So much for heading out of Florida during hurricane season!

Tied up at the city wharf at Onancock.
What a beautiful trip up the creek and delightful town! Well worth a visit if you ever visit the Chesapeake!

Those Eastern shore waterman accents are the hardest accents to understand in the country.....Way harder than Gulf coast cajuns.. Very cool look at some different culture.

We had a verbal run in with a waterman over off Deltaville this morning about our decision to navigate through his crabpot field, Wasn't hard to understand at all!!

Boated in the Chesapeake for years, never been to Onancock. Going to fix that on our way home! Oh how I miss Irish pubs....
We should be in Chesapeake by mid September if you are still around.

Well, maybe we will pass you as we head north. Should be in Charleston SC around 8/10, Wilmington NC 8/18, then Beaufort NC to Ocracoke to Manteo to Dismal. I’ll keep an eye out for you heading south.

Scott,
If you're planning on Onancock, stop by and say hi. I'll be in Crisfield till the beginning of October, and then heading South.
