Friday, our first full day in Deltaville was an easy day. Sleep in a little (7:30); walk the marina, visit with folks, and "docktails" on the porch with the folks from "Sno Daz", another Monk 36 that had stayed over after the Monk rendezvous that had been the week before.
Next day Mike rented another car and we went to the town of Urbanna. Great little community. Went to the farmers market - mostly local crafts but did buy some local produce. Had an old general store turned into a nice clothing store for men and women. Went to a great bar-b-que restaurant for lunch and visited with Jennifer and Mom at the local upscale food and furniture/accessories shop. They had lots of tails to tell and shared freely. Afterwards we looked at some building lots that Mike was interested in and found some beautiful sites and very nice creeks. Back at the Marina there was a wedding, and Ger wound up in charge of getting all the boats to blow their horns when the toast was offered - a great surprise for the bride and groom.

Sunday we headed for the north shore and driving tours of Irvington and a few other small communities. Found a great little sandwich shop for lunch. Then headed to the grocery store and return to the marina to get ready for a great cook-out /pot-luck supper. We had 7 couples from the marina and the food was fantastic; broke up about dark when the bugs emerged.

Monday was some fiberglass repairs from the docking at Fernandina Beach FL and odd jobs on the boat. Tuesday was more of the same and Bingo at the local Volunteer Rescue Squad after dinner. Judie won one game and it covered our expenses! Yahoo!!!
Wednesday we visited the newly rebuilt and re-opened (after a 2102 fire) Maritime museum. They had an exhibit of over 50 paintings of Bay area scenes by a local and famous artist that I can only remember his last name - Barber. You will see some of his work attached.
