Restoring and Regrouping in Aquia Marina, Virginia

WEDNESDAY - After Irene passed, we were just plain tired. This marina’s peacefulness and fun times with Randy and Barb have been most welcome. Irene passed but boat chores continue. Yesterday we washed it, inside and out. I also washed clothes and shopped

A real treat on Monday was Randy and Barb taking us to the new Marine Corp Museum nearby. It was SPECTACULAR, with exhibits specific to each war and a complete history of the U.S. Marines since the Revolutionary War.

This morning Louis and Ollie had a long walk on the lovely nature path nearby while Mike worked on the autopilot. This afternoon is more small chores.

Friday we’ll motor 45 miles to Washington D.C. to an anchorage near the City Marina, within walking distance to everything. After staying 2 or 3 days, we’ll head for the Chesapeake and Baltimore.

The weather is great now and life is calm!
