We sailed in light east winds the 25 miles back across to the west coast of the bay and spent 3 nights anchored in Sarah Creek, Virginia.
We were enticed by the prospect of visiting a farmer's market, shops and museums in Yorktown, 3 miles across the York River, so we decided to dinghy over. We spent a pleasant day exploring the market, Yorktown Historic Victory Centre and the Watermen's museum, but cut our visit short as the wind picked up and the weather worsened. We had a wild dinghy ride back across the river through the swell. In the pouring rain Barry drove and I bailed as we had many waves wash over the dinghy's bow.
The bay is chock full of not only blue crabs, but also jelly- fish and clams. Each time we re-anchor we are having to knock them off of our ground tackle.
