June 27 — I wonder if you knew….

A photo essay.

You can’t get a drink in Irvington, VA until after 5pm. Not a law. Just the fact that no restaurants that serve liquor are open until then. We walked to Irvington for lunch and learned this fact.
The boots that are displayed around town are official “watermen’s boots,” an overarching phrase for all of the workers on the Chesapeake. I tried these on for size in town.
Oysters are a major industry in the Chesapeake. Here in Weens Cove they are also credited with filtering the water to make it tourist friendly. One oyster filters more than 50 gallons of water a day!  This is a display of how oyster beds are farmed on the dock at The Tides.
Ann is a terrible bike rider. Which is why we walked to town:-)
Another option into town …..Cliff absolutely, positively will not pedal one of these trolleys. He did it in Newport Beach a couple of years ago and regretted it for days afterward:-)
If you don’t know this….you should!
Ann loves kareoke….Cliff is perhaps at the other end of the spectrum. He was NOT disappointed that we somehow missed the sing-along opportunity last night.

 

Winds die down tomorrow and we’ll head to our next marina about 32 miles away. We plan on a late-ish departure since the winds will abate considerably by mid-morning.
