Signing off for a while

The cruising for crew Istaboa has come to an abrupt end with news of Mel's mom. We hope to have that stabilized soon and continue on doing what we love, but, for now we do what we must.
It's that time in our lives, and we're sure many understand, where obligations take priority.
I will continue to keep the lights on in our blog by posting what I think are humorous, weird, and sometimes thought provoking photos and junk that I excavate while poking around the net.
So, until we return to Gloucester Point, Virginia....

Adios,


Istaboa

Going Home

Looks like the fun is over for a while. Things have gone down-hill on the mother front. So, off to Elvisville we go.
But a funny first....

Did Yorktown, but no pics

Yesterday, we drove to Yorktown, Jamestown, and Williamsburg but all we did was go to the grocery store. I guess it's still vacation time for most folks because everything was very crowded and we didn't want to stand in lines to see history. We did see a hostage situation at Yorktown's Wal-Mart though.
But poking around today on the internet I found these old color photos from the 40's. Interesting stuff.

Today we have rented a car to land cruise over to Yorktown to sight-see a bit. Lots of historic stuff around here. taking a camera hoping to get some pics.

Until later,

Adios,

More on Reedville

To catch back up, we left St. Michaels and ran pretty hard to get as far south as we could by around 5:00 PM. (Happy Hour) That turned out to be Reedville. We had read about the marina in Active Captain and it sounded like a nice place. Though the reviews did mention a fishy smell.

Reedville, VA

We caught the tide running in our favor, so we ran all the way to Reedville.
Nice place; an old fishing village with large fishing boats tied up as we entered the creek where Reedville marina was located. Though not St. Michaels, we were tired of the tourist stuff and looking for folksy, and the folks at the marina were very nice and accommodating. The restaurant (The Crazy Crab) was good, but there was one small problem...
We will download some pics and tell the rest of the story later.
Now we are back in Gloucester, VA and tied up at York River Yacht Haven. This will be home for a while.

More later.

Adios,

Istaboa
