Considering we had cars to return to the rental agency and the boats required pump outs we were underway before 10 am! I really got excited as we cruised past all of the U.S. Navy fleet. To say it was impressive is an under statement! The ships are all bigger and look stealth like compared to when I was in the Navy. I don’t necessarily like the way they look now but it’s a different day and I’m sure they can deliver one hell of a punch!
As Quest and Moor $tuff were heading for the Chesapeake Bay a destroyer left her slip and lead the way into the Bay. She turned south and headed toward the
Atlantic and we headed north in the opposite direction.

John and Barb will join us on our trip to D.C.! At present Quest and Moor $tuff are in slips at Johns marina. Tonight we all got together for dinner at the marina restaurant and discussed the trip before returning to our boats for some rest. The plan for tomorrow is for all three boats to leave port around 9 am and cruise to Deltaville. At our slow pace of thirty to forty miles per day we should be in D.C. by Friday or Saturday.
