Monday morning was clear and cool, and that is pretty much how it stayed for the entire day. It was good to be on the move again, and after a full day we were very happy to find a nice spot to anchor in Mill Creek on the Great Wicomico River.It was again cool and clear on Tuesday, and just to reinforce the point, there has been a frost warning on the marine radio forecast for the past two nights. The
broadcast also notes the wind speed and water temperature at a number of coastal locations, and the water temperature has been hovering between 63 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit, so we are not in any danger of freezing. The sunrises are always beautiful, and with a cup of hot coffee make a great way to start the day.We have moved a little quicker than we originally planned, in anticipation of some inclement weather. After spending Tuesday night in Chisman Creek on the Poquoson River, we headed for Hampton Roads. This is a great stopping over spot before moving on to Norfolk and the beginning of the Intracoastal Waterway.
Wednesday was a gorgeous day, marked by the return of warm temperatures and the highlight, to date, of our trip. Corinne was at the helm and I was busy elsewhere when she called, ‘Greg, come quickly.’ Sometimes I am not as quick as I should be, and so there was another call, this time with a decided note of urgency. I looked ahead to see what was causing concern, and we were being escorted by a pod of dolphins - jumping and playing in our bow wave. It was a spectacular sight and a great welcoming party.
