But before we leave "the islands..."

So, after a short tour of Assateague, I returned to Chincoteague - for a boat ride. I had been hoping to see the ponies from the water, so signed up for a sunset outing. Turned out, because of high tides, we only saw a couple ponies from VERY far away, but boat rides are always fun anyways!

Daisy Dockside Cruises. A father and son business. Nice folks. The son took a bunch of folks out in one boat, while Dad took the rest of us in another.

The Assateague light house.

The owner of Daisy's Dockside Cruises holds up a crab (from a crab trap he hauled up to show us).

And The Dockside Dog (aka, Dolphin Spotter!) stands guard...

Sun sets.

And another adventure comes to an end...

Now it's time for the long drive back home - over bridges and through tunnels. I didn't end up getting home till around midnight or later (including a near run-in with a very creepy male driver!!!!!!!). But it was well worth it, getting to chase the ponies!
