After a great stay on the Rappahannock, it was time to move on. So we headed to the eastern shore to the small community of Onancock. It was a blustry day with the wind on the nose making for a rocky ride even with our two hulls. Yet the trip was well worth it. Once we serpentined through the Onancock channel and into the creek we found homes scattered across the waters edge.
The community is made up of about 1500 residents and Dave and I were amazed that everyone we passed waved to us - talk about small town hospitality. In fact the only thing missing was a bunch of townfolk sitting on Liar's Bench telling stories. So Dave improvised instead telling me how he loved pickles and had never had a DQ Blizzard - yeah right.
Back on the water we took the dinghy up the smaller creeks to enjoy the views of the shore before retiring back to Tropical Breeze.
Next stop Tangier Island.

Boy, 20 more inland miles, and you're close to where my mother is in Chincoteague
