We had a restful night at Fishing Bay. We were so tired from our challenging sail that we went to bed at 7 pm. We were up again before daylight to head southeast across the bay in a southeast wind. We decided to try sailing, although it required that we travel extra miles tacking back and forth. We had plenty of time so we went for it. Out of the dozen or so sailboats we saw heading south on the bay we were one of three that were sailing. The others were motoring a straight line to their destinations. George and I commented that when we used to day sail and race, tacking was just a normal part of our experience. Now that we are cruising we are much more likely to focus on the shortest way to get to our destination. 
We arrived at Cape Charles Town Marina in the early afternoon. After getting diesel (a whopping 6.5 gallons!), checking in, tying up in the slip and showering, we went to eat at the Shanty Restaurant right here at the marina. The food is good and the sunset was beautiful.
