Lily, A Dog's Life Aboard Moondance: Somewhere over the Rainbow

Before we closed up for the night a shower passed over and the sun came back out…We were treated to the most spectacularly intense, full rainbow. Sadly, even with our wide angle lens dad wasn’t able to catch it all…nor does our photo do the colors justice. It was magic and lasted pretty long…

We woke up to mild breezes this AM. The boat was rocking and rolling all night…it was a lovely way to sleep! When dad & Jimmy, the DRPYC manager checked today's weather, 35 mile an hour gusts were predicted on the Potomac River. Tomorrow looks much better, so it was really a No Brainer! We stayed put! Mom made us fresh blueberry pancakes, eggs and bacon…Delicious especially since they shared! M & D borrowed the courtesy van & picked up a couple parts, and cleaning supplies we needed from West Marine. Dad caved and got his haircut. He wasn’t happy with all his curls going every which way. They picked up gourmet sandwiches for their dinner later this evening from the Table. Mom sent Milena her birthday card & a small present early and mailed out the Buns’ wedding reply. They picked up just a couple needed items at the grocery.

M & D discovered that Deltaville, VA dates back to the 1640’s, but the town is really spread along one main road. It claims to be the “Boating Capital of the Chesapeake” and judging by all the marinas everywhere along that road, they may be right! If there are suburbs here, M & D didn’t see them…small farms seemed to be mixed in between the marinas and marine related businesses. Incredibly peaceful here…similar to Belhaven, but this town doesn’t even have a downtown area…just the one road.

After mom and dad returned they dressed for the pool and took off for a little R & R. I can’t believe that I’m not allowed to join them! I just was recently groomed for Pete’s Sake!
