Friday – Virginia Day 5

W: Although Mother Nature wanted to interfere with our plans, we went ahead. Ahead being a trip to Chesapeake Beach, MD – the western shore of Chesapeake Bay – with Kathy and Gary to visit their boat. We had initially planned to go sailing but the various tropical storms / low pressure areas made that unadvisable.

The drive was through a variety of cloudy skies, light mizzle and drist, and heavy down-pour to reach the Chesapeake Bay.

Checking out their boat – a 34 foot catamaran sail-boat – convinced us we had made the right choice to forgo boating for RV-ing. Climbing aboard the boat – even while in its slip, was a challenge – but easy for the young(?).

We then moved to a local dining establishment where Margaret had the local crab cake and crab soup.

The photos today are from the day. Although the “storm” is still south of us, the wind was enough to keep the gulls grounded. Not too many boats were seen on the Chesapeake. Although as you can see, the gulls were grounded.
