Left Deltaville with three other Loopers, Marc's Ark, Native Son and Jim's Joy.  Travel was just a little beamy, which caused us to rock from side to side a small amount.  Not too uncomfortable of a ride.  On the way up the channel, we came across some local watermen.  These men work extremely hard setting and retrieving crab traps.


When we arrived, we found another Looper at the dock, but they had gone on the ferry to Tangier Island for the day, something we plan to do tomorrow.  We had lunch, then took a walk into the town.  Bob stopped into a hair salon and got a much needed haircut, we visited the local gift shops and then stopped for a beer in the Blarney Stone Pub, the local Irish pub.
General store, that also sells ice cream.  Unfortunately, they were closed today!
A beautiful entrance to one of the homes
Mallard's Restaurant, where we had lunch.  Located right at the marina
Jackets II, a beautiful Krogen Express.  The other Looper that was already here when we arrived.
A purple martin condo!
Enjoying the early afternoon on Jackets II
Again, I couldn't decide which picture to choose, so here are two beautiful sunset photos.
