Day Three - Tuesday, July 30

Another windless day!  We motored out from Tangier Island and pulled out the genoa, but there was not enough wind to keep it full, so we set a course for Gwynn Island, VA, and set the motor for 4+ knots.  Very few ships or boats on the water.  Saw a few container ships and barges going up the bay.  Few, if any, pleasure boats. 

We arrived at The Narrows Marina around 5:30 PM and tied up.  Had another great dinner at the Sea Breeze Restaurant.  After dinner we asked the marina owner when his gas dock was open in the morning and he told us that he didn't sell gasoline, only diesel fuel.  He then said we could use his truck to drive our portable gas cans to a gas station on the other side of the bridge.  Rich took the truck and tanks to get the gas for our trip tomorrow.

Tomorrow we are leaving early to catch high tide so we ca get through a channel called, "the hole in the wall".  This is a very shallow and narrow channel out to the Bay that will save us perhaps 4 or 5 hours on our way to Cape Charles on the Eastern Shore.
