Cape Charles

We started the day by focusing on boat chores—securing the dinghy for offshore sailing, tightening the boom brake line, buying fuel, and reattaching an enclosure zipper. Once most of the chores were finished we walked into town for coffee and a stroll up and down the shopping district. Since I went a bit overboard preparing food before we left home, we decided to eat dinner on the boat rather than in town. 

Cape Charles is a lovely, thriving small town. We visited the here on our “around the Chesapeake Bay driving tour” before we moved to the Eastern shore. We might have moved here if it wasn’t so far removed from things such as health care. Today the town was having a Halloween trick or treat event. We saw numerous families with children in costume and even some adults in costume. 

We plan to leave here early tomorrow morning and head toward Beaufort, NC.
