Reedville to Deltaville

This guy is the real deal - a Chesapeake Bay Crabber.
We agreed to let him jump ahead of us to buy $200 worth
of diesel fuel.  I have no idea how he can make a living at this.



I ran by this marina in Deltaville.  Love the traditional
Chesapeake Bay lighthouse. 
(Monday) Reedville to Deltaville was an OK 4 hour run under motor with a little sailing as we turned west out of the Chesapeake.  The staff at the Deltaville Marina was friendly and helpful.  We anchored out but for a fee ($11 per person) we got access to their facilities including lounge, laundry, and a car for one hour.  The car was the best part of the deal.  We were able to get to West Marine, a grocery store, the liquor store, and the new headquarters of Dozier  Waterway Guides.  We decided to splurge on 2012 guides to the ICW and the Bahamas to replace our 2008 guides which had a few listings that no longer exist.  It was fun meeting some of the staff.  The worst part of our deal with the Deltaville Marina was the laundry.  The wait was long, the one drier was small and didn’t get everything dry.  Maryanne got the worst of the deal – doing the laundry while I took a 4 mile run.
