Dreary day.....got the exercising out of the way and later walked to the Naval Academy. Stopped at Market House for a deli sandwich to go and got a prime bench seat behind the narrator!!! Can't beat that. Pays to get there early as thousands and thousands came out to see the Blues today and what a thrill!
Today's show was dedicated to Navy Lt. (Seal) Brendon Looney who was killed in Afghanistan on September 21, 2010. At the end of the show, the 6 pilots flew over with one veering off (missing man formation) in memory of Lt. Looney. Very moving.......and then Taps were played! Oh my....what an ending!
We walked with Ryan to the intramural football field where the Navy helicopter was waiting to take him to Joint Base Andrews. He flew his jet to Jones Beach (Long Island), NY to prepare for the show this weekend. The rest of the team will come after the flyover on Friday.

Tonight we met friends who live in Annapolis (some of the time) and have a PDQ like Catrina and so travel a lot, too. Anyway, we met them in Marathon this past January (Charlotte and I had lots of fun in the infinity pool). Great to catch up with them here and enjoy dinner at Davis' Pub in Eastport (great crab cakes)! They brought us back to the boat and we yakked some more! What fun to get together and look forward to next January when we'll meet again (God willing) at Marathon Marina and RV Resort.
