For the second day of our vacation we had booked a short cruise aboard the Chesapeake Breeze.The cruise left from Historic Reedville, Va., the center of the largest fishing industry in the United States.
We enjoyed a relaxing one and a half hour narrated cruise (although Tim got a little sea sick), the ship then docked at Tangier Island where we were met by a friendly guide. She gave us some history of the island and took us to Hilda Crockett's Chesapeake House and enjoyed lunch. It was all you care to eat crab cakes, clam
fritters, and Virginia baked ham. The vegetables included green beans, potato salad, coleslaw, apple sauce, pickled beets, and delicious hot corn pudding. All that is served with fresh, baked daily homemade rolls and butter pound cake. We left full and happy.
After lunch we took a golf cart tour of the island which took about 10 mins. and a guide told more about the history of the island.
Finally there was some shopping in the gift shops and our return cruise to Reedville. It was a lovely day, although one that need only be done once. We all enjoyed our day.
