Living life..Moved the boat to Oxford, Md. New interior, refurbished the
sails.

Fishing often.

Took a drive around the country over the summer. I am pleased to report that
the country looks great but is very closed minded. Those people in the middle
need to have a look at the shores or they will loose all hope.......

Pleased to see the legal coup as a result of the most recent election. I
might even stop telling people I am Canadian.

Yep, I lived there years ago and still have great friends in Oxford. That and
the sailing is as good as it gets on the bay. Lots of great destinations. The
drive is about 2 hrs. At least I know I will be sailing when I get to the
boat. I was running out of water where i had the boat. Not only that, it
gives me a nice place to get away to from here.

That's true, but isn't Oxford a bit more pricey?

Onancock is silting up? That's happening a lot of places around the
Southeast. Several creeks I've visited in years past, good anchorages,
are now to shallow to get in.

As for driving around the country, agreed again there. But it's nothing
new, there have always been a surplus of closed-minded people in this
country. After all, it was largely settled by people who were convinced
that God told them exactly how mankind should live, and couldn't stand
to not be able to force their neighbors to do as they said.

The other large contingent of settlers were of course, people who
didn't have any messages from God but were tired of getting shafted by
their religious bigot neighbors.

It's amazing we get along as well as we do.

Onancock Creek on a whole is fine. I kept my boat at Eastpoint at the end of
the creek. As a result of new construction and new bulkheading, but most
importantly the lack of commercial fishing vessels running in and out of the
little creek...it has silted in at a crucial spot making life a misery when
trying to exit that particular channel.

Is that new marina at Cape Charles low water? When we called there last
year they said there would be no problem with a 6 ft draft but when we
looked it seemed iffy ti us...like the marinas here...dredged for the
marina but nowhere to go except the channel...and 15 miles through subs
and container ships to get out...worth the drive to Pamlico SOund...

There is an active sailing community around the Hampton area. I would not
discount keeping the boat around there. Of course there is the Deltaville and
iIrvington areas. I love the Rappahanok River and the sheltered big water
sailing. Not unlike the Choptank. I would take a drive to Irvington...my 2
cents. Pamlico Sound is pretty and different. Not anywhere as big as the Bay.
Certainly not the deepest either.

Well, that's true enough...cost of libing down there is much cheaper,
though...we're finding VA a bit pricey...

Well You did not pick a cheap place to live. Why Smithfield...close to ham
Meca..? Ham Meca...now that is funny. Taxes are still reasonable here and the
realestate glut will make for some buying opportunities here on the shore. Of
course it is still miles from civilization as I remember it, which is why the
Eastern Shore is a nice place to come home to after traveling to other places
for my fix on civilization. Didn't you live in the great white north next to
one of those inland lakes great or otherwise?
