点评:Fabulous Fall Sailing Adventure! It is a rare occasion when the day provides the perfect conditions for a sail. This fall, we booked an afternoon cruise with Captain Bill, leaving from the York River Yacht Haven Marina, just across the river from Yorktown, VA. As soon as we entered the river, we were thrilled to be surrounded by a pod of dolphins. Captain Bill gave us a bell to ring and the dolphins rose to the surface and hung with us for a good 10 minutes. Thanks to favorable winds, we headed upriver at a fast clip. Captain Bill turned the helm over to Jim and he was in heaven. We cruised up to the Naval Weapon Annex before coming about and going under the George P. Coleman Memorial Bridge again on our return. Captain Bill’s expansive knowledge of the river, sailing, the area’s geography and history created a real learning adventure. We were also amazed at the wildlife that day, a blue heron welcomed us back into port and as we pulled into the slip an eagle soared overhead. An exciting and magical afternoon with Captain Bill on his Hunter 320. Watching the sunset as we ate seafood at Yacht Haven’s restaurant was a perfect way to end our day. Can’t wait to do it again!
