Looking Forward to New Adventures





Sunday finds us still at the York River Yacht Haven. Tomorrow will be two weeks but we have good news. The Mechanic finally got to us on Friday and found a much less significant problem than we had originally feared. He ordered the parts and we were able to pick them up yesterday. We hope to have them installed on Monday, if this happens we can be underway again on Tuesday. We hope this will take care of the problem and look forward to continuing our trip.
We have enjoyed our time here, riding bikes and exploring by Dinghy. Virginia Institute of Marine Science has an aquarium here on Gloucester Point and the Marina opened a new restaurant on Tuesday. The executive chef and owner recently retired from Williamsburg Inn and is well respected in his field. The food is fabulous! This is not the usual marina restaurant. Yesterday we returned to Norfolk to tour the MacArthur Memorial, we found it to be most impressive.
We send our best wishes to all of you, our friends and family.
