We motored out early the next morning and on down the bay. Winds were light so it was a motorboat trip, but just being on the water was great. The bay was the busiest we had seen it in ages, as boats of all shapes and sizes were headed south. An early encounter with Navy warship 68 caused us to do a little pirouette at the mouth of the York River. We are sure missing the AIS as it was handy for giving us crossing times with the big boys.
We headed for Hospital Point as our first official stop on the ICW at Mile Marker 1 and rafted to KK for the evening. After a spirited game of Joker, we turned in early in preparation for an early start the next day. The Joker game was introduced to us by birding friends John and Joanne and has rapidly become an obsession to all that are taught the game. One of the last times I visited my sister I was told we could come as long as we brought THE game.
