After a day of motoring we have arrived into Chesapeake Bay and have been able to put            up the sails . 7 knots makes a bit more progress than 4 knots motoring against the currents. It's a beautiful fall day ..70 degrees a bit of Indian summer in the air.  It amazes me that Virginia's autumn colors are just beginning to turn.. almost a full  three weeks behind us in Northern Maine. I think I failed to mention that just before we left Beaver Cove we had our first snow fall .
   
 Our destination is the York River Yacht Club in the Historical
triangle of Yorktown, Williamsburg and Jamestown.  We arrived
just in time for the club's annual oyster bake. Timing couldn't have been better. Tables of oysters every which way raw ,grilled and smoked  along with  hamburg, hot dogs and kegs of beer. Gotta love customer appreciation day when you've only been a customer for one hour.

 Arrangements have been made to have the new Yenmar motors

first warranty check for Monday morning so looks like we will have time to explore this historical area.
  Sunday morning after hot showers and a large breakfast we pack for a day of exploring. Courtney
waltzes into the office to find out the times for the courtesy shuttle. Wouldn't you know it, out she walks with the keys to the owners F350...why were we surprised with a cute outfit like that !! We drop Doug off in Yorktown for a day of cycling to Williamsburg, Scott hops on the shuttle to Jamestown and Courtney and I head to Walmart for a bit more provisioning. Courtney and I  are anxiously awaiting a return call from Ramona  a mutual poker chick  friend who has re-located to this area from Portland, Maine
