Dunmore Plantation

Guiness Rocks

Here's an example of nasty moon rocks that lacerate your feet, you must wear shoes with thick soles to prevent foot injuries. Flip flops won't work!

We had a picnic at this Miley beach sitting on a wrecked sailboat.
Chris found the mother of all fishing lures. Suppose he will go fishing for a great white with this lure.
We are still scouting fishing grounds, waves and winds are enormous.

Dunmore Plantation Adventure!

Yesterday we went looking for some good coastal fishing places on the Atlantic side and wound up investigating the ruins of Lord Dunmore's colonial-era plantation. He was the royalist governor of colonial Virginia who got his butt kicked out by some rebels named Washington, Jefferson, Henry, Mason, Etc. Like many of the Loyalists, he headed to the Bahamas.

Dunmore wound up governing from the Bahamas. Not sure if he governed from his plantation on Long Island or Nassau. When slavery was abolished the plantation was abandoned. We found two large stone structures, a cistern and many foundations that had crumbled. There were stone walls all over the area. We reached the path by following a decent road off the Queen's Highway to several homes on the Atlantic side, one home is named Ryan's View. We parked at a dead end road where we had a view of the ruins. Found the well camouflaged trail.

Thanksgiving Dinner

We celebrated at the Rowdy Boys with Bev and Herb. Was very good, but not like a home cooked one.

Sailing Out of Clarence Town

Tried our hand at sailing on Brian's 32' sail boat. Chris caught on quick, I was a bit woozy. Was a beautiful day for the open seas.

Water color - Atlantic side of Long Island

Used my new water color kit that Andi gave me. It was a dark and stormy day!
