We Made it to Oriental

We did leave Spa Creek, Annapolis on Thursday morning, September 27th. It was sad to leave our friends Yvonne & Jonathan, who felt like family all summer. We traveled 300+ miles in 10 days. Visited with family in Fishing Creek off the Little Choptank, traveled with Sally & Conrad on "It's About Time", with stops in Solomons, Fleets Bay, Old Point Comfort in Hampton, The Ferry Basin in Portsmouth, VA, Elizabeth's Dock in the Dismal Swamp, Elizabeth City, NC, and Deep Point in the Alligator River. Last night we anchored in beautiful Bonner Bay with Hayden & Radeen, friends on "Island Spirit". Today, we pulled into Broad Creek (just North of Oriental), to anchor for the night before going to SailCraft for a small repair. We did alot of motoring but did have a few days of terrific sailing; particularly our crossing of the Albemarle Sound. So far the trip has been great!

We certainly miss having you here!
Kitty cats are bummed about no carpet under their butts. Wooden floor is not down yet, all prep-work.
J is taking it a bit easier. Boat show was a lot of fun with Hal and Barb. We are focusing on getting a Shannon 58 for our retirement years, you want one side of the boat?
Lots of love, yvonne
