MAY 16-17: ONANCOCK

May 16:  We continued up the Eastern shore of the Chesapeake today to Onancock which is located on a river about 5 miles off the bay.

 The seascape is back to sandy beaches and clear water, quite a change from the low country in Georgia and South Carolina.
 Lots of Ospreys nesting on the channel markers.

 The Admiral modeling the latest in Christian Dior marine wear.

The town docks in Onancock were undergoing a major renovation so the facilities were non existent.  However, on the good news front, our neighbor in the marina offered us the use of his truck to go to the food store to stock up on needed items. 

May 17:  As our next stop is Tangier Island, a relatively short hop from here, we decided to spend the morning exploring the town and leave after lunch.
 Quaint small town with a number of antique stores, art galleries and restaurants.  We bought some delicious fresh strawberries and had a long chat with a local artist who specializes in painting dogs.
