Fishing Bay Harbor
11 August 2010 | Deltaville, VA
We arrived at FBH last Friday in time to catch up with old friends from last year. The staff is the same as last year; Ken, Mike, Coach and Lou. We had dinner at Cocomo's with JW and Gerry who insisted we take her car on Saturday for errands and to stop in at the Irvington Farmer's Market where she was showing her window art. Beautiful stuff. JW, ever the salesman, worked the crowd hard and they ended up with their biggest single-day sales for the year. Congratulations you two. Saturday evening was the weekly barbeque at the pool. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time with Sandy and Charles who also presented us with a cornucopia of vegetables from Charles's garden. Mmmmm! We've enjoyed them all week. Dinner tonight was Pokey's special stuffed peppers. I spent time on Sunday with Steve who has a gorgeous 60's vintage Chris Craft Constellation. He is getting Great Bear spruced up for the antique boat show in Reedville next month. We took her around to the haulout at Chesapekae Marine Railway for a quickie bottom check and paint. Steve drove me around town for some errands, including a quick stop at Dozier's Regatta Pt. to pick up a new copy of Skipper Bob's (we wore ours out last year). I got to chat a little with Jack and Craig about some of the folks from last year - Gail and Larry on Tropical Gale Winds, and Ken and Lynn on Silverheels II. Sadly, we are not able to stay here as long as we did last year. We leave FBH early tomorrow morning for Portsmouth and points south. We will miss our friends here and hope they all have a good year. See you in '11 and thanks again.
