By 9 AM on Friday we were headed out, making our way to Deltaville...Doizer's Marina. Dakota is still working on his sea legs...or maybe he has found the perfect excuse to cuddle with mommy...whichever...it was just about 5 hours from undocking to docking.


 In the marina around the bend we finally meet with Bob and Martha on FIELD TRIP. We spent a delightful evening at Cocomo's restaurant...then hanging out on board TUMBLEWEED swapping tales of woe. Boat troubles seemed to be our common theme...they too are headed to Lake Michigan so we are sure to meet again...they are staying on until Monday for repairs...we plan to head out on Saturday. Deltaville was just a stop off for us.

Saturday...we arranged to use the marina courtesy car for a quick trip to West Marine (can't believe we don't already own one of everything they sell) and the local grocery store...by 11 we are lines up and headed across the bay to the thriving town of Onancock....a rough and bumpy 4 hour trip. Whew! Don't know who was more relieved to see land, Dakota or Mate...at check in, we discovered that timing is everything. Seems the town closes at 4 on Saturday and doesn't have much going on again until Tuesday.  So much for touring the Ker Mansion.

It was Prom night here...so lots of young ones on the docks posing for parents...beautiful dresses and handsome color coordinating tux-clad young men....sure felt under dressed in our boat attire. We did walk to Bizzotto's Restaurant for an elegant supper...with left overs for Sunday...cute town...we picked up the walking tour brochure...so we'll do that and a dinghy ride Sunday. Free laundry...but weather permiting we'll be leaving on Monday.
