US Navy Guided Missile Destroyer USS McCain

Left around 9:00 a.m. and arrived at Cape Charles, VA at 1 p.m. We were passed by a US Navy destroyer as we left Hampton and headed out into the shipping lane. He slowed down when he passed us, so we had very little wake. A container ship that passed us wasn't as kind and the cabinets all emptied out when we crossed his wake. The crossing to Cape Charles was pretty rocky with the winds on our beam to forward quarter. We passed the town docks in Cape Charles to try out Baycreek Marina. It is relatively new and the bathrooms were outstanding. We rented a golfcart to go into town for dinner. There were only two options, but were glad we picked Kelly's Gingernut Pub. We took the golf cart by the town marina after dinner and there were two tall masted ships in the harbor.
