TANGIER ISLAND
From St Marys we headed for Onancock and wriggled through Tangier Island canal which was amazing. I would describe Tangier as a big sandbar which is chocker with an industrious fishing community, a lot of it on stilts. Like a lot of Chesapeake it is slowly disappearing to erosion so we feel rather privileged to have seen it.

MEXICAN
Not expecting much we were blown away as we walked into the most authentic and colorful Mexican one could wish for. The food was amazing and the staff all the more delightful for their lack of English. Loved it

MEXICAN
St Marys is really quite remote and with no cafe at the Plantation Museum John kindly offered to drive us in search of a local eatery. Sat on its own this rather drab block building claimed to be a Mexican restaurant and was entered with some trepidation.

SHAUN
We met John a year ago and have remained in contact. As he happened to be driving past he joined us for a day and left us with a new member of the menagerie - I introduce Shaun. You guessed it, John is an Irishman.

DOVE
This is a replica of the Dove which arrived in 1634. I popped out in the dinghy to take pictures and was amazed at how well she sailed and handled. I would happily take on an ocean crossing in her.

DUNKIN CANADIAN
You will all know Ian by now but what you don't know is that we have been slowly edjumacating him in Cornish heritage. He had never dunked a biscuit before he met us and is now a fully confirmed Biscuit Dunking Tea Jenny who is able to naturally drop Proper Job, Geddon and Wasson into his daily dialogue.
This is Ian discovering that dunking chocolate coated biscuits into rum is actually quite nice. I worry what we have created sometimes.
