We left Portsmouth and went past Norfolk. We saw many more Navy ships in various stages of repair. We then went past some Navy ships and submarines that looked like they could soon be deployed.
We then headed out onto Chesapeake Bay. At the southern end the bay is very wide and open to the ocean, making it prone to be rough. As usual the weather forecast was wrong and it was much windier and the waves were bigger than forecasted. We were lucky that the wind was out of the south putting the waves right on our stern. If the waves have to be big, we prefer them on the stern. We were surfing up and down the waves, but were still pretty comfortable.
While we were traveling we could see schools of bait fish bubbling on the surface. We also saw many stingrays and I saw one small shark.
We went to Tangier Island and stayed at Parks Marina. The marina owner, Milton Parks, is 83 years old. He rode out on a two wheeled scooter to meet us, and tell us a bit about the island. Visiting this island is like stepping back in time. All of the buildings are very small and old. We didn't have any internet or cell phone service. Everywhere along the waterfront there are crab boats and small crab processing shacks. I'm so glad we stopped here and got to see this small island. There's lot's of history here and it is even more remote than some of the other small towns that we have seen. Plus we had delicious crab cakes for dinner.
