The Onancock Chronicles the Eastern shore

Going to put offers in on the house at the end and the lot next to it, tomorrow am ...... I would like to be able to get both. We really liked the vaucluse shores area, but not sure about dealing with the distances from grocery, Walmart and medical facilitys. We'll see what happens. It was good seeing you and Max again, Larry. Good job on that pile of wood !

Good luck John - they accept it & if it's not too early - we should meet at the Blarney Stone for a celebration drink before you head north.......................

Would love to ......but,
Two days all day driving ....... looked at properties on both sides of the peninsula, covered everything we wanted to look at from just north of Cape Charles to the ocean side by Wallops. Dogs are shot and tired of living in the truck. We are planning on hitting the road north, early am. We also stopped in at Sandpiper Marine ..... very nice people, family run. Going to have to weigh out the price difference vs dragging the privateer down to have them install the outboard.

Somehow I don't think they'd cotton to that Damnyankee flying 20th Maine battle flags and drinking Chamberlin Pale Ale...

I visited Sandpiper last month as I'm in the market for a new outboard. I too liked them I dealt with Josh and got a very good vibe from them.

Josh is who I spoke with as well ....... we talked a bit in regards to the fishing. He talked about the run of bull reds they get .... fish to 50lbs ! Looking forward to the chance of hooking up with one of those ! Very nice people.

Red Drum are just beginning to hit the area now from what I'm hearing.

there is another Marine Place a little farther down 13 in Exmore

I drive pretty fast and it still takes me more than six hours..

Day three in Onancock. Met up with Larry a couple times, last nite we had crab cakes at Mallard's on the Wharf. Unfortunetly I am back to looking again. I thought we had the property that was perfect, offer was accepted ...... until I found out that due to its proximity to wetlands, it would have been a long battle to get the permits to put an extension on the existing house and add the dock and garage I have always wanted. So the search continues today.

Too bad maybe it wasn't meant to be. Keep up the search.

I got to meet Tom ...... the similarities we had were a little spooky. Great guy and I really enjoyed talking with him !

Thom and Linda are good people. You'll have to check out the band Thom is in they are called Three Sheets. They play at the Blarney Stone from time to time.

Tony - for a guy who doesn't yet live here full time - you do get around.....................
