4/21/15 to 5/1/15             Chesapeake Va. to Crisfield

Our next stop was in Chesapeake Virginia. This is new spot and the deal was not to be missed. Firstly fuel was over $.30 cheaper than anywhere along the ICW (Intracoastal Waterway). Then they offered free docking and electric if you dined at their Amber Lantern Restaurant and spent over $75.  Since average dockage is $66, that became a no brainer. To top that off the meals were excellent and the desert  was to die for. We shared a Chocolate Lava Cake with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream. Everything was so good we stayed a second night and had another dinner with free dockage. These are our last nights on the ICW.

 

4/23/15 – 4/24/15   

Now we‘re back in the Chesapeake Bay. Our first stop was in Hampton, Va to visit our friends who also wintered at Myrtle Beach Yacht Club. Doc and Donna took us to a very nice little restaurant on the bay. It was really fun getting together with them again.

We have actually made a big mistake. We headed up too early. We have had to pull out the jeans and long sleeves. We should have waited longer to head up. We have decided to slow this down and hope the warm weather catches back up with us.

4/25/15 – 5/1/15

So we then headed to Crisfield, Md. We are staying at the Somers Cove Marina. This place is huge. See picture below. There is a large playground and pool (still closed).

 

The town and waterfront have numerous restaurants and Museums. Unfortunately, a lot of places are not opened yet because it is still out of season here.  We have ridden our bikes everywhere, so we are getting lots of exercise to keep the pounds off.

 

We will be leaving here tomorrow (Sat. May 2) bright and early heading for Solomon’s Island.
