After the Cowboy Rodeo in Crisfield we began September sitting still in Crisfield as a major storm stirred up the Chesapeaeke Bay making it a very messy body of water to travel. We left Tuesday the 3rd of September and had a pleasant crossing and trip back to Colonial Beach.
Once there we handled our daily chores and enjoyed the town’s activities that included a great beach music festival on the 14th — wish I’d taken some pictures! We were then ready for our two-week boat trip to Albermarle Sound but the COVID virus got us and stopped that trip quickly. We’ve had the virus before but this trip through it was more difficult. Once it had worked its course on us, we got on the boat and headed out for some site seeing on the water, as it was to late to catch up to the other boats on the Albermarle trip.
We decided to go to Yankee Point Marina on the Rappahannock. We had read it was a good stop and run very well as a family business. It was better than expected. It had friendly staff, a great restaurant, a pool, and a large maintenance and repair yard.

We left Yankee Point Marina on a clear sunny day and returned to Cole’s Point Marina. We had our car there so the day after arriving we took a five hour road trip around the Northern Neck to see what had changed since we last did this tour, some 4 years ago. A nice day. We continued to relax and enjoy Cole’s Point. Joe Littleton and his brother-in-law on At Ease and Dan and Janet Farrel on their boat stopped by for a night. These were the boaters we were going to travel with to tour the Albermarle Sound area. They left the next day and we stayed as we were going to Olverson’s Marina on October 4th for a WYA Club event that included more fun and a low country boil dinner. More on that later.
thanks for the info
