They owned and operated numerous boats along the way.  Moving to Cape Charles in 2018, they enjoy spending time with their children and 4 grandchildren, the beach, and anything nautical.

Rob grew up boating on the Long Island Sound. He loves sailing but became a motor boater when he moved to Virginia Beach in 1995. He and his family boated all over the Lynnhaven, Broad Bay, Linkhorn and Chesapeake on their 22' Grady White. Recently, Rob upgraded to his current 40' Sabre - Yikes! Since moving full-time to Cape Charles in 2017, Rob and Patsy have been cruising all over the bay. 

Beth retired from the telecommunications industry in northern Virginia in 2015 and moved to Cape Charles with her husband, John.  She met her first friends here learning to play Mah Jongg and then with the Cape Charles Yacht Club.  She volunteers for various civic and philanthropic organizations in Northampton County.  She enjoys walking the beach and local parks, book club, kayaking, and cooking.  Above all, she and John travel internationally at least a month a year to learn about the history and culture of other countries, including John's birthplace, England.  

Lori and her husband, Ian, moved from Manassas to Cape Charles in 2020 and soon afterward joined the Yacht Club.  A retired middle/high school math teacher, Lori spends her time volunteering with the Northampton County Education Foundation and Shore Mentors.  In her spare time, she loves to play golf with the Bay Creek ladies.  Although not much of a sailor (the seasickness is real), she does enjoy kayaking in the Bay, strolling the shore looking for beach glass, and watching those gorgeous Eastern Shore sunsets! 

Ron and his wife, Sherry, both retired in June 2006 and found the perfect place here in Cape Charles.  Besides photography (http://easternshoreimaging.com), Ron's other hobbies include golf and poking around the yard and gardens.  It is amazing how much satisfaction one can derive from making a long putt or destroying a big weed … !!!  Where better than Cape Charles on the Eastern Shore of Virginia to pursue these retirement dreams?

Imported into the US from the UK by my wife Beth 25 years ago. I finished my career in telecommunications in Northern Virginia before retiring and moving to Cape Charles in 2015.  I keep busy doing yardwork, exercising at the Life Center gym, walking the Bay Creek beach, running or walking the Preserve and volunteering for Main Street and the Cape Charles Rotary Club. When the weather is accommodating, I road cycle and train for the Between the Waters bike ride, which I have entered for the past 5 years.  My one last pleasure which I can be found doing most evenings, is to watch the sunset either from my back deck, or in front of my firepit enjoying a Bourbon barrel aged Imperial Stout - delicious!  

Keith Stone is originally from Jacksonville Florida where interest in boating started and has continued in Chesapeake Bay area.   Keith works supporting IT systems globally, but best part-time job was Search and Rescue (SAR) in Coast Guard Reserves at Station Mayport for six years where there was almost always action.  His boating range includes the Florida Keys, St. Johns River, St. Augustine, Hawaii, Intracoastal and all over Chesapeake Bay.  Having sailed most boating years has owned sailboats like a 37’ Hunter Legend, 42’ Whitby, but for now has a 24’ Yamaha Jetboat to fish, ski and set out to some good anchorages.  He enjoys long distance biking, motorcycles, scuba, spear fishing and most of all sailing.

Paul & Nicki have always been working to protect and take care of the environment. They love canoeing and kayaking, as well as hiking and birding. On all of their adventures, picking up trash is always a big part of them.  They are excited to be Captain and First Mate of Road Clean-Up, and hope a lot of other members will join them for our clean-up days.
