Yorktown - Sunday, 9/14
Sunday morning, we walked through the shops in Yorktown up to the Victory Center which was about 1/2 mile out of town & up a hill to check out the sights. As it turned out, there wasn't much to see on that end of town but it was a delightful walk along the York River.

| A beautiful morning for a walk along the York River |

About the only boat traffic we saw on
the river. |

We left Yorktown a little before noon. The wind had dropped, the river was calm and the sky was cloudless. A perfect day for our 30 mile trip to Hampton, VA.

The ladies took advantage of the perfect afternoon.
The Chesapeake Bay is in the background. |

Notice all the wind vanes, solar cells
and antennas on this small lighthouse. |
 |
Fort Monroe, though the largest fort in the US, was quite
well concealed. If we didn't know it was there, we would
have missed it! We plan to visit it tomorrow. |

We parked Samba right downtown
Hampton, VA |

We couldn't help but smile at the name of this boat that was
right in front of us: Goody Two Screws
