Laid Back Fun

23 July 2012 | Urbanna, VA
Becky
We are having a great time here. We're making new friends and having a good time exploring.

Last weekend we kayaked up Urbanna Creek-- lovely scenery-- waterfowl, jumping fish and crabs.

We continue to do projects practically daily on SeaQuell. She's coming together nicely. We have detected an incoming water source--- not 100 percent sure where water is intruding, but have shunted it to drain to the bilge.

New snatch block has been installed for the mainsheet. Reefing line also functioning well now.

We have a new grill-- it's larger than our previous one and is infrared. Hopefully, no more flare ups!! Our Asian pork chops were cooked to perfection last night.

The vents for the fuel tank were blocked and we have removed all the corrosion from them and they work like a charm now!

The air conditioner in our cabin has been acting up. It seems to be leaking freeon, so we made a quick trip to WalMart and charged the unit with freeon and it seems to be working well now.

We have been having some fun, too. We're checking out the local restaurants . We rode the town trolley to "something different" --a local barbecue joint. They had a great beer selection, and the food was good. They make their own ice cream which Robert really enjoyed.

The little coffee shop here is a good place to visit with the locals. We had breakfast there this weekend.

We also drove to White Stone to have dinner with friends at a restaurant called the Sandpiper. Great steaks, good seafood and wonderful bar.

Becky is taking yoga classes here at the marina every Monday morning. Robert doesn't participate in the class, but enjoys "the scenery" of Becky and the instructor in the downward dog position.

Maggie just sleeps the day away most days. She will go for walks if prompted, but seems to much prefer being lazy.

We plan to stay here for at least two more months, as we are thoroughly enjoying our time here and have much more exploring to do.

Life just keeps getting better and better. Every day is like a vacation!!!
