Saturday, 15 July – Harbor View RV Resort, Colonial Beach, VA

Not too much of a sleep-in this morning after our late night, it got too hot!  Once we surfaced we took our bikes and went for an explore around the campground and the adjacent marina.  Our new BFF, Jeff was bringing his runabout back into his berth, but it was quite windy so we gave him a hand.  Had a long chat ‘bout boat stuff.  He has his eye on a 35 foot launch, a repossession which owes the bank $80k.  Apparently needs some work, but it seems a bargain to us.

Seriously... US$80k for this, maybe we could do boating instead of road trips! New price $420k.

Launch on right side is the repossession sale!  Note the covered berths.
Party central inside the covered berths, fridges, microwaves, granite benches in some, outdoor furniture etc.
Our other new BFF was a tradie working on replacing the antennaes on another launch which was also for sale so we had a look at that too.  Berth fees here are $3500 and that is under cover.  Mostly petrol boats, but gas is cheap!

US$3.90/gallon for petrol 
Maybe they should spend some of the revenue on making the jetty level?
After our explore, we went across to the big grass area to play some more with the drone.  Kim sent me off across the field on the bike so he could figure out how to make it track, which he did.  Phew, that is my exercise for the day.  

Off to the pool for a refreshing dip now!

This is a photo I prepared earlier, before any bodies wanted to use the pool!
