Sequoia Log:
26 May- Depart Cape Charles headed to Onancock. S winds 18-20 on the way out the channel, seas 2-4 feet. Winds made for more downwind run, which was unpleasant when thousands of flies swarmed the boat. Storm cell passed over on the way in to Onancock. 37 nautical miles.
Well, if we weren't impressed with being in Cape Charles as we spent the night- the flies as we left made it a sure thing we'd never go back. We were infested on the hull of the boat. They were everywhere. We destroyed a fly swatter as we killed hundreds of the little beasts. We called ahead to some friends meeting us in Onancock to get fly paper and fly swatters. Too bad, it would have been a great warm, sunny day otherwise. Onancock was nice. Cute little town, nice resteraunts, etc... Several of us had breakfast as a group at the spanish place in town, it was great. On to Tangier tomorrow...
