Old & New Friends

Hopefully that was an easy quiz yesterday, yes, we are in D.C.  Decided to make the trip after we had to anchor 10 miles up the Potomac on our northerly track.  We were going to go in the fall but the weather has been reasonably comfortable lately so we decided to change the plan.  It is a 90 mile trek up the Potomac from the Chesapeake and it took us 14 hours running.

We're really glad changed our minds though.  We finally got to meet up with Barry and Jodie from 'Love Shack' (we met them way back in February in the Keys)  and  meet their good boating buddies Larry and Brenda from California. We now call the guys the "Arry's"....Barry, Larry & Gary....Had a great time with them all last night  celebrating our reunion and  Barry's birthday.

Larry & Brenda had their trawler trucked to Texas from California so they could do the Great Loop since Barry & Jodie are also doing the loop from their home port of Tampa they are meeting up often.  

If I haven't explained the loop before it is going up the intracoastal waterway either into Canada or across the Trent Severn Waterway and into the Great Lakes then down the Mississippi into the Gulf or through the Tenn Tom Waterway and into the Gulf .  You can start anywhere on the circuit and you have finished it when you return to your originating port.  

Today we are off to explore, probably more of the Smithsonian.  We went to the American Indian Exhibit yesterday.  We will see all we can before collapsing!
