Motored up to Urbanna, VA; Heatwave Continues

We left the anchorage at 7 am taking advantage of the light breeze until it died around 10:00 am.  We motored the rest of the day until we arrived in Urbanna on the Rappahannock River around 4:30 pm. We dropped anchor adjacent to an offsprey nest in the cozy little harbor which had room for just two or three boats on anchor. We decided to hang out on Juno as the skies grew threatening so we sipped our gin and tonics and enjoyed cedar planked salmon for dinner. Afterwards, we dinghied ashore and walked through the small town to the grocery store. It was the only store open but we bought a pint of ice cream, baked beans, and zucchini with the $10 we had.  We then went next door to a bench while we ate our ice cream before it melted. It was still about 85 degrees at 8:30 pm with no wind so Harry rigged an air scoop and we turned in early at 9:30 pm.
