Urbanna Again

Urbanna Public Library
No LL

Oh it felt good. We went to bed last night at 9 and didn't get up till 9 this morning. Wouldn't have got up then except that the heat and intense sunlight made it uncomfortable. We had no time to adapt from NE fall weather to this. The temperature was 90 yesterday afternoon and it felt like no less than 70 overnight. What a drastic difference.

I puttered and did some minor repairs this morning, then I changed the oil in the engine. Sorry, with the new engine, oil changes just aren't worthy of blog postings any more.

Around noon we hauled anchor and set sail for Urbanna. We had nearly perfect winds and zipped right up here at nearly 6 knots despite a 1.5 knot tidal current against us. We'll spend several days here.

Urbanna has a grocery store and a library, both within walking distance of the dinghy dock. What more could any urban center hope for? If we had stopped at 79th street in NYC I bet we couldn't have found a grocery and a library within easy walking distance.

This is also the place where we met Gary last year, the man who is building a wooden boat. We'll go to say hi to Gary tomorrow.
