Tuesday May 6-Thursday May 8th, 2025
So, Monday afternoon after the sessions were over we left the marina, went across the river and anchored. We took our dinghy to our friend’s boat, had a drink and went out to dinner! Nice way to wind it up.
Tuesday we left to start up the Chesapeake Bay to Yorktown. Started out like glass and very picturesque…but that changed🥹
Once we go into more open water and the wind picked up a bit more than expected, it got a bit rolly. Still wasn’t too bad until we were about an hour or more away from Yorktown. Our friends (Louis and Bonnie) from Goldilocks were pretty close and happened to shoot a video. I thought about trying to shoot one but didn’t think I’d be able to! We had to zig zag (tacking) through the waves and look for crab pots at the same time. FUN!
Once we got into the channel of the York River and out of the Chesapeake, it was much more comfortable. spent a few hours at the dock with Goldilocks, went to the Waterman’s Museum (highly recommend)! I learned quite a few new things! Had a great dinner at a Pub. We both moved our boats to mooring balls for the next two nights.
Wednesday was a full day of the American Revolution Museum, The Battle of Yorktown site and visitor center, monument and the free trolley that went all around. It was a full and great day!
When we got back to our dinghy’s, it was rockin and Rollin so we had a fun jaunt back to our boat. I got completely soaked🤣
The wind finally calmed down so sleeping was pretty good.
