Back across to Fishing Bay, Deltaville VA

Before we left Crisfield, the guys did a little work on our water system. See what happens when you work on a boat? It seems like whatever the job is, everything gets turned upside down.  

The wind was right to sail southward, so we set sail for Fishing Bay in Deltaville, VA. On the way we saw the menhaden ships from Reedville at work. The big ships go out, along with a plane that spots huge schools of fish. When a school has been spotted, two purse seine skiffs that you see on the davits are launched and they encirlce the fish in their nets, which are then loaded back onto the big ship to complete the job. 

We anchored in a spot that had the most chance for a breeze and took a cool dip in the water when the anchor was set and the sun shade was up. We enjoyed hanging on the hook, catching a few rays, and relaxing.  We were greeted by a woman taking her dog for a "swim".
