Still in Deltaville, VA!
Thursday, May 17. The wind hasn’t let up. Even old timers are saying this has been the windiest year they can remember. One trawler left the marina early this morning, then turned around and came back. Tomorrow doesn’t look much better, but Bob and Larry (Lola Marie) are getting up early in the morning to decide whether to go or stay another day. We are eager to get to Solomons, MD, where our mail and, more important, old friends Bill and Vickie Hicks are waiting for us.Even though everybody is ready to move on, we’ve had a wonderful time. Yesterday Bob and I took a day trip with the Cowhigs to a lovely historic church and cemetery. Six couples have eaten out together, grilled out, shared a birthday party, and enjoyed pies, cake, margaritas, and hors d’oeuvres. I will always associate Deltaville with overeating, great friends, and lots of fun! We’ve all cleaned our boats, and the guys have gone to West Marine multiple times while the girls hit the grocery store and little shops. Even so, our fingers are crossed that the wind and waves will calm down by the morning.
