Kismet Does The Chesapeake - Slowly!

Sometimes it takes a couple of visits to an area to appreciate all that it has to offer. That was the case with Deltaville VA - This was our 4th stop there; and we really didn't take advantage of all the conveniences til this stop. We anchored by the Deltaville Marina in Jackson Creek. For $20.00 a day all the facilities at the marina can be used - pool, laundry, dinghy dock, bicycles, courtesy car, lounge, showers - makes life pretty easy. We stopped here to say good-bye again to Mo & George and help them empty their boat to return to Vermont. We left today and sailed (a beautiful sail) 23 miles to Antipoison Creek (whch was 6 miles North "as the crow flies"). Legend has it that local Indians saved the life of Captain John Smith by medicating a wound that he received from a ray in this area - thus the name! Tomorrow we plan to go to the Great Wicomico River.
