We are back :-)

Cassie and Godiva's island

The calm after the storm

Exploring the area in Half Note (the tender)

View from the pilot house at anchor

We cast off the lines today at 6:30 and said good-bye to the York River and Sarah's Creek and made our way into another beautiful day on the Chesapeake, bound for our first of four anchorages up the Piankatank River making our way to the Potomac and then to Washington DC to meet Kerri, Patti and the boys.
The Bay was calm and the weather was beautiful as you can see from the first two pictures.
We arrived at the mouth of the Piankatank River around noon and wound our way up to our anchorage which is behind an Island. No name for the Island so the girls wanted to name it. Cassie said Cassie Island, and Godiva said Godiva Island. They settled on Dog Gone Good Island because it was so much fun. Cassie chased the fish in the shallow water while Godiva chased what ever we threw out. It was a great afternoon playing in the water on Dog Gone Good Island.
We grilled out, ate dinner on the fly bridge and enjoyed the view. After dinner a thunder storm came up and lightning hit a tree on shore about 200 yards from us and scared the you know what out of us. After the storm we were treated to a full rainbow over the anchorage.

It's great to be back!
