Memorial Day. A little more Urbanna then to Mill Creek near Reedville

We felt guilty after last nights pint of ice cream, so we took a little jog through the neighborhoods of Urbanna and ended up at the visitor center (closed) that formerly was a tobacco house used in the 1700’s to sell then move barrels of tobacco down the street to the awaiting boats in the harbor for transport to England. It turns out Urbanna is known as having one of the oldest streets in America - the one where the tobacco was moved to the awaiting ships.  We raised anchor around 9:30 am and the wind was light as we headed down the Rappahannock River. The wind finally built to about 12 knots out of the north for our upwind sail (yes, we do sail upwind sometimes). We had to dodge many crab pots and fish traps along the way.   We chose to drop anchor in Mill Creek just south of Reedville and were the only boat around.  We watched several Osprey and a Bald Eagle soar all around, and listened to the many birds in the nearby trees.
