August heat
Finally leaving Urbanna and on our way to Reedville. Very hot and humid. Guess this is the weather everyone down here was warning us about. As long as there is a bit of a breeze, we can take it. Reedville was interesting as it once was a thriving community based on several fish factories, but now only one remains in operation. Definatly smells like a fish factory! Happened upon a fund raiser at the Fisherman's museum and enjoyed a pig roast with a dj and dancing on Saturday night. We were a bit rusty o n the dancing ,but soon got into the "swing" of it. After a few days in Reedville we went out for a great sail--one way to keep cool-- and then into Mill Creek. One of the prettier creeks we have been in. Hardly any one there and no jelly fish so was great to go swimming. Two other boats came over that we had met in Reedville so we also beat the heat by just having a great get-to-gether on our boat with conversation, sharing of food, music with guitar (Arnold knew every Bob Dylan, Beatles, and Paul Simon song as well as all of his British off color ditties) and we hada great time. Turns out that David had almsot bought our boat when it was for sale in Florida! What a small world.
Now we are in Indian Creek near a marina and the town of Kilmonock. This is really a town with stores etc. People here are very hospitable and we got a ride the mile and half to town, did laundry and ate lunch out. Hamberger was $2.19! Then since the manager of the grocery store offered to give us a ride back to the marina, we stoked up on all sorts of provisions for the boat. It is nice to be able to have canned goods on hand when needed, but gee those grilled burgers with fresh lettuce and tomato sure tasted good tonight
