After a delightful week with Stacy and Jordan visiting aboard in our nation's capital, they hopped into a cab at 0430 in the rain to fly home to hot Houston. We had anticipated leaving, but heavy rain was forecasted, so we elected to wait another day to depart back to the Chesapeake. We had favorable current for most of our ride down the Potomac, and anchored at nearly the last anchorage on the Virginia side in The Glebe. It was a peaceful, serene, and isolated anchorage, complete with a bald eagle and a local man who rode by to visit with his grandson who was visiting him from Sugar Land!
The following morning we traveled to Deltaville for one night, and then up the Rappahannock River to Urbanna, a quaint small town we had not previously visited. We enjoyed Friday and Saturday nights there (the town closes up except for the latter part of the week), with good restaurants, a pharmacy with a lunch counter complete with milkshakes, and an interesting general store and other shops. On Sunday afternoon we returned to the Jackson Creek side of Deltaville where the boat spent the 2013-2014 winter, and we will spend some time and have some minor maintenance issues attended. We may even travel home before venturing north into Maryland.
