10/11/15 Second day at Belhaven

Wind again!  We opted to stay in port since travel would have been unpleasant on rough water.  Ann and I have started walking.  On our walk, we saw lots of old homes, some of which are bed and breakfasts.  We learned that a consortium has purchased one of the oldest properties and they are restoring it to its previous glory. 

On our walk, we passed a cute gift shop that was closed.  Four women were getting out of their car and were heading for the porch.  When we mentioned that we thought it was closed, the driver said that she was local and had guests visiting, so the owner was opening especially for them.  So Ann and I joined the group and did a little shopping. 

For happy hour, we sat at the Gazebo and met two sailors, Hans and Greta (not Hansel and Gretel) who were passing through on their annual October cruise to Albermarle Sound.

  For dinner, we went to Jack's Tavern.  Once we returned to the marina, everyone (but Jan) went back to the boats.  The owner, Les, and a friend were entertaining friends on the patio.  Their music was great!
