Wax On Wax Off

One couldn't ask for a nicer day. The sky was blue, the temperature was around 72F (22C), the wind less than 5 knots.

I spent the morning in the dinghy cleaning and waxing the exterior stainless steel parts. Libby spent the afternoon cleaning the brown mustache from around the water line of the hull. That involves cleaning with Slimy Grimy, then waxing.

At the end of the day, we both felt like we came back from Karate practice (wax on wax off)

When we got here on Friday, there were only two other boats with people aboard anchored in the harbor. Yesterday, as the first day of a 3 day weekend, about 40 sailboats arrived in the afternoon. I think that they must have emptied all the marinas and yacht clubs in Deltaville to sail to Urbanna. They looked pretty coming in.

The beautiful motor vessel, Cape Ann leaves Urbanna harbor.



Above is the ship we saw in the Portsmouth, VA ship yard. It is flying Swedish and Finnish flags. Does anybody know what it is?
