It was such a treat to sleep in this morning and eat a leisurely breakfast in the cockpit. While we were eating we heard, and then saw, two bald eagles in a tree overlooking the harbor. It was a bit of a surprise to see them so close to an active harbor and next to a cement plant. A little while later we watched a schooner come in and tie up on the other side harbor. After the rain showers ended we went into town to run a few errands and eat a late lunch in a new little restaurant. We love Cape Charles and wouldn’t mind staying longer but it looks like we have an opportunity to go around Cape Hatteras to Beaufort, NC. We have learned not to pass up a weather window when we get one. We plan to leave at first light and should arrive in Beaufort by Thursday afternoon. We met another couple here who have a similar plan. It would be nice to travel close enough to chat on the radio but they have a much bigger and faster boat, so I won’t count on it.

Another pretty sunset.
