Thursday evening.
Beautiful fall weather here and surprisingly, a lot of development, to include a huge new marina and beach housing. Fairly upscale. The best news is that for $2 foot berthing fee, you can get free wireless, laundry, very upscale showers, free bikes to ride. The town was originally established in late 1800's as a railroad terminus at the southern end of the eastern shore, then dried up when the bay-bridge tunnel was built. With the real estate boom, the place has florished like Betheny Beach, etc. Since we were getting around late in the morning, and needed a full day we thought to go the rest of the way south on the eastern shore, into the atlantic, then dash to Norfolk before dark, we decided to postpone that a day so we could get an early start. After the tough entrance to Cape Charles after dark the previous night we had lost some bravado and want to get into Norfolk shipping before dark.
So we explored the town, did laundry and rode bikes thru the development and back into Cape Charles. Saw a light house so we rode our bikes there. Discovered the town had actually transformed the municipal water tower into a light house look alike, painted black with fake windows etc. Had Dorothey and me completely fooled.
Tomorrow we take Liberty Belle into the Atlantic... A little nervous..
