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.

What's next?

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.

On to Oriental.....

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!
