We departed the East river at 0800. It was a hazy day with 10 knot wind out of the southwest in the morning. After we were out in the Chesapeake our cell phones started working after nearly a week without them. We called our family and friends to catch up on what had been happening.
We passed Wolf Trap Lighthouse on our port. It is a large red brick building built offshore on a shoal in 11 feet of water. We followed the western shore north and then turned west into the mouth of the Piankatank River and continued up the River to Fishing Bay near Deltaville, Virginia. Deltaville is on a narrow peninsula between the Piankatank and Rappahannock Rivers.
We anchored at the northern end of Fishing Bay in about 12 feet of water at 1300. There were only two sail boats anchored when we arrived. We ate lunch and took naps. About 1630 we motored over to Fishing Bay Harbor Marina to reserve a slip for Wednesday and walk Sailor. There are no public docks or shorelines where could walk him in the entire bay. The marina charges $3.00 to tie up a dinghy for a short time.
By evening there were 10 sailboats anchored around us. Dora slow cooked roast beef and vegetables for dinner. It was a nice night at anchor.
