Moving On

We had a very rolly night on the boat in the tiny marina, so we decided to move on to our final destination which was just 15 miles away and then rent a car to continue our sightseeing. Before heading out, we took a Segway tour of Yorktown. While John assured Debbie and Mike that no one ever gets hurt on a Segway, when we were coaxed off road by our guide up a grassy hill, Debbie’s Segway tipped over and Mike almost ran over her head. Disaster  was momentarily avoided and we so we segwayed on through the charming small historic Yorktown. Then, when the tour was finished and I was stepping off my Segway, I put too much weight on the back edge with one foot and it flew backwards and just before it took out a family sitting at an outdoor restaurant I was able to stop it! We were on "wild" Seguays not to be trusted.

Later, Debbie and I drove to Cardinal, VA while John and Mike braved the river crossing to the protected harbor. We drove to a few towns to see the best place to spend the afternoon and evening as Cardinal was just the ‘takeout’ place to store the boat for winter and very rural.

We found a decent town for dinner – Gloucester Courthouse, VA and after John and Mike boated across the bay in 5 foot seas and high wind, had safely tied up in the tiny marina, and washed the boat, we picked them up to go to dinner at LuLu’s Kitchen. The dinner was excellent, light and fresh
