Thursday we headed for Solomons Island and anchored in Cuckold Creek (Cuckold means cheating on someone) which was just an overnight stop on our way to Urbanna, VA. Friday at 07:00 we headed for Mill Creek off the Great Wicomico River. The day was a day from hell on the water. The winds were blowing and the waves were hitting us broadside. (Cassie was having a fit) When we turned into the river we got hit with a big wave and got rolled. The copier/printer hit the floor and the furniture in the salon got rearranged. (not by choice) We made our way to a protected anchorage and that is where we stayed for the next two days while the wind blew and the rain fell. (some days are not so fun on the water) Sunday morning the winds calmed down a little so we made a run for Urbanna. The winds were going to be 15 to 20 with gusts to 25 starting Monday again so we wanted to be in a marina. We arrived in Urbanna to a gorgeous sunny day and tied up to the city dock where we will be until the end of the week. Vicki's Mom flies out of Richmond Thursday afternoon so we will all go to Richmond by car to drop her off and do a little exploring while we are there. Maybe I'll find a new camera.

Sunday afternoon Norm said he was hungry for pizza, so that evening we found about the only place in town open on Sunday and it happened to be a pizza joint. After enjoying a few brews and a not so bad pizza we all went back to Tide Hiker and played a few cut throat games of UNO. Today we did little exploring and made the must stop when in Urbanna, the old Drug Store soda fountain for the best root beer float on the Chesapeake. Vicki's Mom thought it was way cool because it brought back memories. Now it's time to press publish post. The last time I tried I lost the entire post and had to do it all over again. I hate that when that happens!!!!!

A few brews and Pizza. Just what Norm needed

OH NO! not hat shopping again. Vicki's looks like a church lady hat. I preferred a Bahamas hat. I miss the Bahamas!
