KILMARNOCK, VA

The morning started out beautiful as we left Urbanna on the Rappahannock River. Smooth waters! Well, we got a big wake up as we entered the Bay! Yikes, 3-4' waves! Much bigger than predicted, as is usually the case. Jake, the cat, did his usual "get sick at both ends" routine.  Our TV was flying back and forth on its arm on the wall...not good. We found a way to bungee it to prevent the swaying. Gotta love bungees!!! Fortunately, this rough water episode lasted only about an hour until we turned into Fleets Bay to head up to Kilmarnock. Things settled down nicely.

We are at the Chesapeake Boat Basin for 2 nights. Another town to explore, and a farmers market in the morning!

  1. Chesapeake Boat Basin is our home away from home, and we love the whole northern neck. Try Car Wash Cafe for breakfast or lunch, and tell George, dockmaster, and Bob Murphy, liveaboard on his sailboat, Cathy and Denis, Lisa and Clay, Jackie and Jeff, and everyone else that we said "Hi."
