Well, we have not been so successful at continually updating this blog, but we've had a rather busy couple of weeks since our last post.

The last two weekends we've spent at Baycreek, our home port, doing a bit of local sailing. The winds in our neck of the Chesapeake Bay tend to be fluky at best this time of year, but even in light winds we are able to sail, which is truly a blessing! We had friends come in from Charlottesville on Friday and stay with us for the night. On Saturday we took them on a quick motor around the Cape Charles coastline. the weather was scattered thunderstorms all weekend, so we didn't get a lot of time on the water, but were able to get some much needed boat projects done, which was nice! We also took the opportunity to briefly explore Cape Charles, and we've found some great little hidden "gems" in town! Two of our favorites are Two Sisters, a take out organic homemade goodies shop that also sells fresh veggies. Two Sisters gained fame locally with their homemade "Tomatoe Pie" which was served at the 2009 inaguration. However, if you are a salsa connesieur, which Jim is, you will have to try their "Georgia Cavier" salsa and their Mango salsa, both of which are fabulous! Jim and I have been really eating light on the boat - cheese, coldcuts, and salsa w/ chips - mmmm mmmm good!

Another hidden eatery is Cape Charles Coffee - they serve a killer lunch menu! And their chicken salad, which is made with cranberries is awesome! You can order the chicken salad as a sandwich or as a salad on a bed of green with homemade raspberry vingarette - it is really delish! Everything on their menu is organic, which is wonderful!
