Deltaville to Urbanna Creek, Urbana, Virginia

We waited for the rain to pass on Thursday and left the dock with Pam and Bob on board headed around Stingray Point and up the Rappahannock River up Urbanna Creek to Urbanna. We were the only boat in the anchorage for most of our visit except for a derelict boat on a mooring. We headed ashore to the Urbanna Town dinghy dock after a tour of the harbour and up the hill to the Visitor Center. We had a great tour of the museum and the huge historic map. We headed downtown and went as far as the cafe Where the Sidewalk Ends and then back to Something Different for homemade ice cream. Our last stop was the old general store of Bristows for a step back in time. We had an enjoyable happy hour and dinner on the boat.

On Saturday morning, a cruiser directed us to her favorite restaurant of the Wooden Pickle so that was our first stop. We then took a walk along the waterfront waiting for the farmer's market to open. We all purchased some goodies before coming back to Virginia Cafe for lunch. We waited around for the trolley and then had a thity minute tour around town out to the RV resort and senior residences before heading back to the boat for another enjoyable happy hour and dinner at anchor.
