Prologue: When the Looping season ends and we get close to returning home, I find that I am uninterested in blogging and hence the long silence. However, in less than a month we will return to the Namaste to explore the Chesapeake and thus I add the following for the sake of continuity. . .
As reported in the previous entry, we loved our week in Washington DC even with all of the rain and resulting debris floating in the Potomac River as we worked our way back down to Colonial Beach Marina where we celebrated Kathy’s (onboard Carisma) birthday and ultimately Dozier’s Marina where we crashed the Monk Rendezvous, hung out once again with Jo and Ken onboard Friar Tuck, and readied the Namaste for a hot and steamy haul-out on May 25th.
Just one of the many huge logs floating after days of rain. Note Monticello onshore.
Chugging our way back down the Potomac to Deltaville, VA and home to Michigan
Our view the evening before haul-out. Always a bittersweet time.
End of another wonderful season!
