Decided to go on a boat tour around the island I really wanted to take a boat trip to Tangier or smith island but they do not operate on Mondays and Tuesdays and forecast for Wednesday calls for rain and high winds

Captain Doug was great. He grew up on the island and was very informative

Some of the Chincoteague wild ponies on the north side of the island. There are 110 on north part of the island and 40 on the south side. They are descendants of ponies from a Spanish ship that sunk many years ago. We were about 20 feet away.

Captain Timmy Hill House was built around 1800 and was moved to its present location in 1980. It’s Chincoteague Island’s oldest house

Research Ship Miss Brittany The captain was kind enough to let me on board and told me all about their research.
