Great trip! Highlights included:
Visiting the world's oldest ham in Smithfield - unfortunately couldn't stay for the ham's scheduled 111th birthday party next day
Winding along the beautiful and storied Chickahominy - John Smith and Pocahontas country
Riding River Horse a 28' "sea dory" through sheets of rain
A 16-25 kt run in sparkling sunshine, down the glass-flat James
Dallying with a pod of dolphins near Newport News
Seeing real skimmers "skimming" on Baum's creek
Pleasant happy hours
Great company of C-Brats.
Special thanks to Steve and Joan for their hospitality and leadership.

Concur whole heartily with all the responses. Steve, you and your lovely bride really made the event, or should I say the Commodore and his consort, retired, congrats!
The Chickahominy was beautiful, coming down the James was a nice long sleigh ride. I'm beginning to think I prefer the James over the bay.
To Delfin, Dragon Fly, Pandy Girl, Munchin, Skimmer & Osprey --- See you out on the water, thanks for the good time.

It was a great trip and we really enjoyed meeting everyone. Amazing that the weather cooperated and we never had more than a drizzle underway. Sure wish we could have done the whole trip!
But Smithfield was lovely and Rivers Rest was a very peaceful and pretty place, with great service - when we got stranded after our engine quit, Charlie Brown came to our rescue! What a great guy! Will definitely go back there again!
