Day Two continued

No posts from Tangier Island because phone service was spotty or non- existent.  Arrived at Parks Marina on Tangier Island about 7 PM and was greeted by Milton Parks on his motor bike.  Milton greeted us by welcoming the "three old men on a sailboat".  He said that Ed was "quite a man" due to his size.  He also said that he could tell Jeff was a level guy because his bubble was in the middle.  It was Milton's Birthday.  He was 82 years old today and we wished him many more.  

We ate dinner at Lorraine's Restaurant since it was the only place open after 5 PM on the island.  This has been a Maryland crab cake feast every night so far.  Food was very good.  

We slept late because of the rough two days we had had and then took a leisurely stroll to the Chesapeake House for an all you can eat family style breakfast: bacon, eggs, home fries, and freshly baked buttered bread.  What a meal.  After making some small repairs to the boat we again wished Milton a Happy Birthday.  To which he replied, "How do you spell seventy years old?"  He said,  "G-O-N-E".  He was a hot ticket!

We shoved off around 11 AM for Gwynn Island, VA.
