Urbanna, VA

We awoke to a rainy, dreary day and took the dinghy in to check out Urbanna. Had a delightful breakfast at the Virginia Street Cafe...good grits!

Not much doing in Urbanna. A post office, bank, super market, drug store, general store, ice cream shop and several nick nack type places. No bars and one ABC Store.

However, next weekend is the 50th Annual Urbanna Oyster Festival where over 75,000 people are expected over the two days.

We departed Urbanna at noon wondering if it was really worth the detour off the Bay. It was pouring rain the whole trip back down the Rappannock River but at least the wind was on the nose. That all stopped when we turned south on the Bay. Well, the rain didn't stop but now the wind (and the seas) were on our beam. Another rock n' roll trip coming up!
