Crisfield, Maryland to Balls Creek off Great Wicomico, Heathsville, Virginia

 We got up at 5:30 am and left Somers Cove Marina and headed out into the bay and through Tangier Island and across to the Great Wicomico River. We cruised into Reedville but we were too early for the Crazy Crab Restaurant to be open for lunch and the wind direction would have made it stinky to stay. So we headed back up the Great Wicomico River to Balls Creek. We went under the high-rise bridge with the fishing pier where we later tied up to walk to Three V's Winery. It was on the main highway but we quickly found their delivery entrance which took us around the vineyards and up to the tasting room. We each enjoyed five dry red wines, a sherry, and a jalapeno white wine before settling on two reds to go making it a free tasting. We headed down the river back to Horn Harbour Restaurant and had an excellent burger and rockfish and chips on their porch. We got back to the boat and moved to Sandy Point anchorage which was more wide open with one sailboat anchored there on Sunday night.
