Weather forecast for today was thunderstorms and winds. Calm this morning, so we left to travel about 13 miles to this marina. Uneventful trip, cloudy but calm. Went by a military facility, watched several huge aircraft taking off over the boat as we passed by. The prevailing theme for today was crab pots, they were all over the river.
This marina is very nice, has good washrooms, a pool, good floating docks. Unfortunately there are few boats here. The lady in the office told us that a new owner took over in 2008, and at that time the marina was full. Since then the economic downturn has really hurt this area and the marina is less than half full, and many of those boats are for sale. There is a yacht brokerage here, so they have many of these boats.

Cloudy all afternoon, few rain showers. We went for a long walk; the town has a walking trail and boardwalk that goes on for miles. After supper, wind came up and so did the waves. We have whitecaps out on the river, but relatively calm here.

We will decide about moving on tomorrow morning, depends on the weather.
