This is the sunset in Yorktown, the most beautiful one I've ever seen.

The sky was vibrant reds and oranges.

June 26, 2010 We crossed the Chesapeake today and it was a little uncomfortable with 3 ft. seas for about 40 minutes, until we changed heading. We are now anchored at Jutland Creek just inside the mouth of the Potomac. This is the same anchorage we used last November on our trip to Norfolk. Hope the anchor holds. For us newbies, there is always a little anxiety.





We sure had a great time visiting Yorktown and Williamsburg. We saw the most beautiful sunset our first night in Yorktown. Last night there was a beach concert, which we enjoyed from the fly bridge.

Myrtle Beach to Washington DC

Three weeks off - it's almost retirement. We started in Myrtle Beach on June 15, 2010 but didn't get very far. We lost more bolts from the differential, which made it very difficult, actually impossible, to go forward. We were able to tie off on a private dock's piling and waited patiently for our first tow, which took us to Anchor Marina just east of the Little River Swing Bridge. As luck would have it, if you call this lucky, we enjoyed raw oysters and the Tuesday night special at Captain Poo's of $.35 tacos.

After putting on locking screws, we headed on our way the next day.

One of our stops was in Moorehead City, NC during the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament. We saw the weighing in of the 3rd place finisher. The 1st place, 883 lb. blue malin, had been caught on the 2nd day of the tournament but was subsequently disqualified for the failure of one of the crew to have a fishing license.
