As I said previously, we decided to leave "The Tides" a day early and ended up going to a very nice place called Dozier's Regatta Point Marina at the mouth of the Rappahannock River, Deltaville, VA. at Stingray Point. Here we met the owner Mr. Jack Dozier himself who is a publisher. He has written several guide books and also the Waterway Guide magazine.

We liked it here at Dozier's and the people are genuinely friendly and hospitable. They even have a loaner car available for you to use and go into town for essentials. Whow! Good job Jack, nice touch!
Here is Dawn enjoying reading her book and coffee.
And then we met up with a couple that have been traveling with their boat on a 2 year journey. That's right, 2 years. They have been going already for over a year and originally came from Seattle Washington. Rather than steel their thunder, I'll just post their web site for their story if you'd like to read about this kidda stuff. Their names are Scott and Marian Bulger and are nice people. And Scott loves to tell stories........ Although the web site is actually done by his father I believe.

Their boat is a "Nordhavn" 40'. A trawler type of boat made in China to cruise the world.
Check out: http://www.nordhavn.com/ if you'd like to read about that type of yacht.
It is big and roomy but is slow going, which makes it very fuel efficient with a single engine.
Views from the nice and new floating docks.
Sailboaters, leaving to go out to sea.
The basin area.
A nice and peaceful pool area.
And view from the pool.
And a restaurant called "Toby's" which was way off the beaten path and back in the woods. Only the locals would know about it. They came and picked us up and took us home. And the food was pretty good. Hi Christene!
