Monday, August 29

We were eager little beavers this morning waiting and hoping that they could get Catrina launched today?    We were up to exercise, have breakfast, Mark ran some errands and returned the rental car.  We put the canvas back on, fastened down Tigger (dinghy) and tidied up a bit from all the stuff that had been put inside when we left last Friday.    And finally, at 3:04 PM, we were back floating (#56 to be launched today) and took off.   Tonight we are in Annapolis (ya think we like this town??? second visit by boat and 1 by car)!    Well, we needed to head south and since Irene had us a bit discombobulated, we really didn't get to "celebrate" Catrina's finish of the Loop!   So, here we are tonight in "Ego Alley" where everyone wants to be....right in the heart of downtown and there was a spot for us, so......we are enjoying a pretty evening and had drinks and a great hot crab dip w/crackers at the Middleton Tavern and back to Catrina for BLT's.     Good ole home-grown tomatoes came from the Central Market in Lancaster Saturday.....veerry good!

Proud Navy Dad and our new Looper Flag ("GOLD" for officially completing the Loop)

It was neat this afternoon coming into Annapolis past the Naval Academy - the band was playing and the football team and another team were on the field (maybe a scrimmage game)???

Gee, at 7:30 tonight it's getting dark - far from up north in Canada where at 10:00, it was still light!   Oh well...fall will be coming soon!

Sweet Connor called us this afternoon and told all about his first full day of kindergarten!!!

Congratulations! You two made your Loop quite an adventure. But you did the smart thing by taking your time as you went, enjoying the time and places. Not just rushing around to complete a goal.
