Chincoteague Island is perfect. No ubermen anywhere. Daggy. Its a real town- real fishing boats. Fresh fish. Great great great fresh fish.

This whole trip has been blessed by good luck- like getting fireworks right outside our room at Virginia Beach. Here, the "curse" continued:

• Normally, Chincoteague is packed with summer tourists but gas prices kept them away this year.
• This island is famous for plagues of incests but it was unusually dry this summer so we didn't get bit once.
• Without booking, we scored a sweet room overlooking the harbor.

So we rolled (walked) into town and had to wait for the resteraunt we wanted. They suggested a little waterfront bar round the corner where the bartender poured me a double gin and tonic. Standard stuff followed, plus great seafood along the way.
