Anchored in Deltaville, Va.

The sun peeking through the clouds this morning.
The first we've seen sun in at least four days!

The coffee starting brewing at 6:01 a.m. and the alarm went off at 6:15 in case the aroma didn’t wake us up. Jazzy and I took up the trash and she got in a little walk. I made egg and Canadian bacon sandwiches on toast and by 7:15 a.m., we were on our way to Deltaville, Va. We expected it to be a long day on the water, about 10 hours.

The winds and waves were variable, sometimes pleasant, other times not so much. Waves went from 4-6 ft. to 2-3 ft. off and on all day. Jazzy stayed on my lap under blankets all day. We averaged 8.8 knots all day. Lunch was a chicken sandwich.

We arrived at Deltaville Marina for fuel at 3:45 p.m. (we made great time!) They have free pumpout here, but it was out of order.They are planning major renovations here. Good thing we’re okay for now. We anchored outside the marina.

We saw a couple we met in Warderick Wells, Exumas, on a Taswell 43 called Anania. They remembered us from our last trip. They have a cat onboard and are also anchored here. They head south every year.

I made a Caesar salad, fried potatoes, scallops and we split a NY Strip (intended for Ron Pence, but we never got a chance to cook for him, sorry Ron!). Delicious!

Tomorrow: Norfolk
