The town is bounded on the north by the Rappahannock River and on the south by the Piankatank River. The Eastern Shore lies seventeen miles to the east, across the Chesapeake Bay.

Jamestown and Yorktown
John Smith is usually what comes to my mind when I think of Jamestown, Va. Jamestown allowed the English to establish a colony in North America. We saw the 1600s church tower, and go inside the Memorial Church. The most interesting sights of the day were looking at what the archeologist were digging and viewing […]
Williamsburg, Va.
http://www.history.org/ We have both had history of the United States in High School and College but there was such a difference in being able to peek into the places where the decisions for our freedom were made. From 1699 to 1780, Williamsburg served as the Capitol of Virginia. Colonial Williamsburg is America’s largest town size […]

Hampton is the oldest English-speaking settlement in North America and has a 400 year history. Some of the attractions to visit in Hampton are the Hampton History Museum, […]
Traveling on the ICW North
After anchoring out in Belhaven we went to a marina not to far. Dowry Creek is a very quaint marina in an incredible setting on the ICW. The showers at the marina were great, we were able to catch up on our laundry and meet some fellow boaters. When we are on the hook we […]

Leaving the Comfort of New Bern
Yes we have left the dock. We left New Bern Friday, April 14th. Cruising to Oriental was familiar to us as we have made the trip a few times by boat and driven by car. What I love about the community of Oriental is the feel of marine life all around. There are usually three or […]

Beaufort, NC
Beaufort’s streets, waterfront, and surrounding areas have not changed drastically since the 1700s. Houses that were built in the eighteenth century on Front Street, particularly in the first and second block, are still standing today. Although Front Street is now paved, early on it was merely a path along the shore. The North Carolina Maritime […]
Afternoon Walk Around New Bern, NC
The sun that was smiling on us last week decided to go into hiding for a week or so. Sometimes at the beginning Spring we get so anxious for warmer weather that the 40 degree and 50 degree weather feels as if winter is getting ready to set in again. A few days ago in […]
