Tangier Island

We spent Saturday afternoon and night in Tangier Island.  This quaint old town deserved a blog of its own. You really feel like you have stepped back into time. This is a watermans community and crabbing is the livelihood here. Everthing here is brought in by boat. Most who come here remain here it seems.  A few family names dominate the entire small town.  There is a school here for all grades and it has about 75 children.  The population is 650. It is a very religious town and does not have a single bar. We sayed at Parks Marina which is the only public marina and it is run by Mr. Parks who is 82 years. This town has more cats than people it seems and the graves are in the front or back yards of each home.  If you are ever near here you should boat in.
