On Sunday, June 13, we cruised up the Rappahannock River to Urbanna, one of the 20 port towns established by a 1680 Act of Assembly. From these towns, tobacco was exported to England for European goods. Our friends, Larry and Sue on M/V Sue Sea Q met us at Dozier's marina. The next day Sue and Su walked around the village using the Walking Guide of historic homes. Pictured is the Marble House built at the turn of the century and one of the Victorian era buildings. It was built by Lord Byron Van Wagenen, a schooner captain whose family owned an oyster house and pickle factory.

On Tuesday, June 15, we cruised down the Rappahannock River to Deltaville where we usually stop northbound and southbound. The four of us decided that it was too hot to travel when Dozier's Regatta Point had a swimming pool to relax by and a shaded picnic area for dining.
