Reggatta Bay Marina - Deltaville, VA - 6/9/08

We cruised north today and had intended to anchor in Fishing Bay along with “Northern Reach” but about 20 miles from York, the autopilot “bit the dust”. The 1” diameter bolt sheared off on the pivot arm. We had this problem years ago when the boat was new so we ducked into the Rappahannock River where there is a Hunter dealer. We are at Doziers Regatta Marina in Deltaville, VA. These are the folks that publish the Waterway Guides and tonight they hosted a wine and cheese party for the transients where we all met one another. Such a nice idea! They also have a pool so the first order of business tonight after getting securely tied was jumping in to get cool. Chris repacked the stuffing box while I did laundry. It’s amazing how many dirty clothes we had acquired in these temperature.
