We pulled away from the Hampton Marina at 0800 and stopped at Blue Water Yachting Center to take on 150 gallons of diesel at $2,.54/gallon ($380.80). We were on our way.
After leaving the James River and were out in Chesapeake Bay, we passed up the York River and headed for Mobjack Bay. The wind was blowing from the north about 15 Knots from the north causing short, choppy waves mixed with occasional swells. We were lucky we were heading north-northeast, taking the waves on our forward quarter.
Once in Mobjack Bay we decided to go north up the East River, which is the smallest river flowing into Mobjack Bay. We proceed up the East River to Put In Creek and anchored in 12 feet of water.
Later we took the dinghy up the creek all the way to the village of Mathews. By the time we reached Mathews the creek was barely wide or deep enough for the dinghy. The tide was falling so we knew that we didn’t have much time to spend in town. Dora went to a quaint little drug store to try to fill her prescription. They were very helpful, unlike Eckerd’s in Hampton. Mathews is a nice town with nice people. We planned to go back the next day on an incoming tide so we can spend more time shopping and looking around. Just before sunset we went for a dinghy ride.
