Description:
I actually had something scheduled for today, so I got in the Wright Boys' 110th anniversary flight yesterday. It was the first nice day we'd had in a week, and I just flew around locally, enjoying the cool, smooth air and the afternoon sunlight.
The Dockside restaurant (of lore) is closed on Mondays, but the owner's car was there anyway. The dock is still there, but the pier went away in a storm last year and it doesn't look like he's in any hurry to rebuild it.

A freighter was docked at City Point, in Hopewell. In 1865, General Grant's army had half a mile of docks there and hundreds of vessels docked and waiting to dock.<br />

Wait! Is that a castle tower in the back yard? <br /><br />Too bad. Only an old silo.

I had to do the Tar Bay Archipelago slalom higher than usual because of sharing the airspace with flotillas of geese and squadrons ducks and formations of cormorants. (Sorry about the video jiggles. The camera's image stabilization was set wrong.)
