<\/a><\/p>\nOur first stop in Hampton was an evening at Old Point Comfort Yacht Club. We are actually members though we are generally observers from a distance. <\/p>\n
On this occasion we were able to participate in the spring blessing of the fleet. <\/p>\n After the winter Magnolia was so challenged we figured an extra blessing was in order.<\/p>\n One of our favorite stops in Hampton is, stet was Ice Cream Parlor. I am sad to report the it was not only the weather that was tough..it appears the parlor did not survive either.<\/p>\n One of the jobs I normally get done in the Abacos is a maintenance coat of varnish of the cap rail. The weather in the Abacos and then again during our stop in S.C. did not allow this job to get done.<\/p>\n Though the weather in the Hampton was hit and miss I did get a couple of coats of varnish laid down. Have to start with a good sanding of the existing varnish.<\/p>\n Magnolia is really ready for a complete strip down of the varnish but I just do not have time in the schedule to get it done\u2026there is just too many other more fun things to do!!!<\/p>\n In the end the finished product met minimum requirements which is about all I can say!<\/p>\n Magnolia snuggled into the dock at Sunset Boating Center, Hampton<\/p>\n While Annette was away on her cousins weekend our friend Jim on SV Agape arrived. We met Jim in Black Point Exumas and have crossed paths along the way.<\/p>\n As Jim was on his way back to Toronto Canada and was preparing to go offshore to New York. It was great to catch up on our final night in Hampton.<\/p>\n Next we are off to Washington DC!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After our trip through North Carolina we were looking forward to a little \u201cstill\u201d time.
