Paddle Steamer Winters in the Creek

Every year the "City of Fredericksburg" journeys down the Rappahannock to spend the winter at the cruise dock on Hoskins Creek - the "Captain Thomas" has by now headed further downriver to the Bay and the winter facility at Buzzard's Point, Reedville. The 100 foot paddle steamer reminiscent of the bygone era of steamboat travel and nostalgic and romantic cruising is usually based at the City Dock on Sophia Street and offers dinner, dances, weddings and special events.

On the Rincon Peninsula tsunami signs abound, indicating that you have reached a safe height above sea level. Surfers were in surf heaven with healthy swells reaching these NW Puerto Rico shores. Finally rerouted via JFK a day later and several hundred dollars sucked out by rental car and hotel!
