Sunrise on the Piankatank

We both slept the sleep of the dead last night. Two long days of driving certainly takes it out of you.

I was up at 6 am in order to get out for some photographs. The above photo was taken with my new wide angle 17-40mm zoom lens. This is the boat launch on the Piankatank river at TT Chesapeake Bay. Two guys and a young boy were on their way out bass fishing this morning. They worked on getting that boat launched for almost 30 minutes before it finally slid from the trailer. I thought it made for an interesting photograph.

No pickleballers to play this morning unfortunately. Our friends, Ken and Faye, were not in the park because Ken had hip surgery earlier than was originally scheduled. Faye reports he came through it well and is firmly on the road to recovery with TV remote in hand:). Way to go Ken! Not too much NASCAR now.

We took a run into the Walmart Supercentre and Bank of America in Williamsburg this afternoon to do a few errands. The drive was very scenic. Leaves are still very colorful on the trees. Looks like chili on the menu for supper at the TT restaurant tonight. $3.00 per person and we don't have to mess around with dishes afterwards. Sounds pretty good to me.

We worked out our itinerary for the drive on into Florida this afternoon. We'll hit the road early tomorrow and try to get as far as Walterboro, SC following I-95. Hoping to stay at a Walmart or Cracker Barrel there. Then on to Orlando for two nights (Nov 3rd and 4th) before heading down into Sebring on Nov 5th. Looks like about 400 miles each day which should be doable depending on traffic.

For those of you interested in the weather down here. 22C today. We are both back into shorts, Ts and sandals. Cool at night but great during the day.
