Wednesday, August 23rd - Tangier Island

We started off the day with a stop at the Corner Bakery on Onancock. This was Kimmy's last day at the bakery before going off to college. The local customers had a going away party for Kimmy with, what else, donut holes and cake.

We got on the Captain Eulice boat for the 1.5 hour trip over to Tangier, VA, an island in the middle of Chesapeake Bay. There were about 30 passengers aboard and the trip was very smoothe.

Tangier Island is totally dedicated to fishing, crabbing, claming and tourists. We took a 15 minute drive around the island in a golf cart...saw EVERYTHING in 15 minutes...get the idea? We ate lunch at the Fisherman's Corner restaurant, did a little shopping and boarded the boat for our return to Onancock.

Our hostess here, Beverly Bradley, joined us for dinner and later she showed us all the sights of the area. She is a delightful lady and we plan to keep in touch with her.
