We left our anchorage by Smithfield for a quick one hour trip to David and Linda Hall's home with a dock. They were a few slips down from us at Fort Myers, and David made the mistake of saying "come on by when you're in the Chesapeake." So we did! We had planned to stay one night, but ended up staying 3. They were excellent hosts and we had a great time. After we were docked, we drove to Yorktown for lunch at the York Pub. We then spent the day relaxing at their beautiful home. Our entertainment while we were there was Teach, their son's Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Teach is 2-1/2 years old and full of energy. Later that night, their neighbors Billie and Donna came over, as well as several of their other friends. The weather turned cold, so David built a fire in his big fire pit. Friday night we had another feast of hot dogs and hamburgers with more of their friends. Saturday was a beautiful day so we took David, Linda, Billie, Donna and their son, Josh, for a boat ride. We went about an hour up the James River, dropped the anchor, and enjoyed a nice feast. Donna and Josh braved the water and went for a swim. We enjoyed pizza on the back deck when we got back. After a delicious breakfast Sunday, we untied our lines and took off. Billie said he would meet us in Baltimore in July for an Orioles-Rangers game. We're going to hold him to that.
