Interlude

Today was our second day at Salt Ponds.  After the front went through and the rain finished, the winds came, and steadily built up to gale force, making us glad we had decided to wait it out.  Even in the slip, the boat was heeling, and I had to put on extra docklines.

But it was clear and sunny, and in the afternoon the winds abated some, so we took a walk up to the public beach and did some beachcombing.
Bayside Beach at Salt Ponds
Although its not a particularly beautiful beach, I was struck by the cleanliness.  Virtually no manmade trash or debris of any kind!  I was hunting for seaglass, and only found six tiny fragments.

Tomorrow, we will be "back on the road" again, with our next planned stop a free dock in Portsmouth, just across the river from Norfolk.

Life is good.
