June 12th - Virginia Beach

​We attended Boat Church on the beach at The Narrows in First Landing State Park with Angie's friends, Christy and Barbara. It wasn't quite the same as the scene from the TV series "Ozarks". A guitarist, singer and pastor stood on the stern of a beached pontoon boat to address the crowd seated on the beach.  A dozen other boats were beached along side the lead boat and a couple other boats were anchored in the river. There was also a couple who attended on their paddleboard. 

For a percussion session, they had about 10 plastic buckets from Home Depot and drumsticks. Drummers of all ages joined the ensemble! The church handed out free t-shirts, bottles of water and breakfast tortillas. A different pastor preaches every week. They had prayer and baptisms after the service. What an amazing community outreach!

Our last social event was brunch at Leaping Lizards in Chix Beach. Betsy, who was feeling much better, joined our group along with Kris and Christy. We enjoyed a delicious meal and drinks under a corrugated plastic roof on their porch during a downpour complete with thunder and lightning. Charlie and Streak were cowering in the car.

Angie and I got some chores done to get ready to hit the road tomorrow and watched a movie at Alex's house before turning in early.
