Tuesday, May 16 -  Last Day in Virginia

And this is the reward for waiting out the weather!  Beautiful, smooth water! 

Leaving Hampton, we passed Fort Monroe.  This is a place we wanted to tour, but it was several miles and a tall bridge away from our marina.  

We had an uneventful cruising day, and pulled into Dozier's Regatta Point Marina mid-afternoon.  Deb had researched marinas in the area, so we followed her advice.  It is a really pretty marina and clubhouse.  Nothing is within walking or biking distance, but they do have a marina car. 

Walking to the office to check in, we passed this boat.  What an appropriate name! 

Danny wanted to get a Virginia fishing license, so we put our names on the list for a loaner car.  We ran into Gil and Debbie as we were going to pick it up and asked if they wanted to join us.

The lady at the office recommended that we stop at a local seafood market.  They sell fishing licenses and offer prepared seafood dishes.  We bought several items, including a twice-baked potato with shrimp that she had raved about.

The whole time we were looking at food, Danny was trying to get his license.  After a long process, the gentleman said he didn't need one - he was too old!  We all got a kick out of that.

We stopped for lunch at a place that had the most cars.  Gil immediately picked out the BBQ sandwich, which started a discussion about our love for BBQ.   I mentioned that we are BBQ judges, which usually elicits a strong response.  Gil very casually said, "We are, too, with KCBS."  We had a great time eating and talking BBQ.
