We leave FBYC
around 9:00AM . Before we leave Deltaville we stop by the Deltaville
Marina for fuel and a pumpout. As we approach the docks we see
“Mar-a-Lago”.

| Jane, Linda and Brian |
I knew Brian and Jane were leaving their boat here
for the summer and coming back in the Fall for one last trip south. I
had thought they would of headed home to Toronto, by now. Getting the
boat ready for storage has taken quite a bit of time. They found a
climate controlled storage facility and are storing cushions and many
other boat items for the summer.
We now have an even later
start from Deltaville. It is a very calm, motoring day, but the
leading edge of tropical depression Bonnie is slowing coming north
and we have rain showers on and off most of the afternoon.

| Rain clouds catching up to us |
By
mid-afternoon we start heading up the Potomac River and head into the
Glebe River in Lewisetta, VA. We are heading for a very protected
anchorage through shallow waters littered with crab pots and oyster
beds. Twice I have to swerve because I am off course and we are on
the verge of hitting the bottom. Once we drop the anchor we have the
place all to ourselves.
A local home owner is
teaching one of his kids to wake board. At one point he swings by and
tells us he will be shooting off a cannon at sunset, not that we will
actually see one tonight. Soon after it starts raining. After supper
I doze off watching TV on the settee. Suddenly BAM ! The remote
control goes flying and I reactively jump up and run to the cockpit
to start the engine. But before I get there, I notice Linda is
laughing hysterically (at me) and then it dawns on me, oh yeh,
cannon, sunset. Well, at least I am wide a wake, now.
