Norfolk to Deltaville, VA



Departing Norfolk, we had to stay alert for the big container ships passing us on Chesapeake Bay 







When the dolphin showed up, the First Mate took a break from spotting vessel traffic! 





Our quiet anchorage was the peaceful balm we needed after our activity-packed, fun-filled week at the AGLCA Rendezvous.




And it's always a bonus when the anchor comes up clean as a whistle the next day!





Wormley Creek Marina was a delightful find! A friendly, family run marina and the the perfect place
from which to uber into Yorktown!






Doodles, the friendly marina cat, joined us for docktails at the tree-deck.
She never left our side after we became fast friends.



  
Our visit to Yorktown found Eddy consulting with the Revolutionary War leaders . . . .

. . . . and relearning that Yorktown was the site of the Revolutionary War's final battle.






We walked five miles the day we explored the battle field and marveled at the courage and sacrifice of all the soldiers.



There's something about canons that brings out the warrior in Captain Eddy.





Yorktown's  colorful flowers and charming architecture brought back memories of our days in England.





A walk along the Yorktown boardwalk allowed us to see several boats
but this was a stand-out!




Miles of hiking and hours of absorbing history called for a favorite refreshment!




Looking out at the Chesapeake Bay, we feel so fortunate to experience this adventure!




Our next stop is Deltaville Marina, where we connected with many Looper friends.




A short walk through the woods brought us to the nearby Maritime Museum.




A replica of Captain John Smith's launch.




The First Mate tries to fill the boots of a Chesapeake fisherman.




The Sculpture Garden was a surprise bonus!
Dozens of marvelous bird sculptures could be seen along the meandering path through the woods.
