We could not ask for better canal traveling weather. Last night we stopped after going through Lock 8. Two other "loopers" were also tied up to the wall and we quickly formed a nice happy hour party. It was good finding out some of the other perspectives and life stories that led these folks to doing the loop. One thing we have found is that we are usually the youngest of the bunch...hmmm.
Anyway, both days were remarkably uneventful. All systems, with constant TLC, are running as expected. Our highlight today was polishing all the stainless (getting all that New Jersey salt off)...Ashton actually did half of the work. We also finished our "boat cards" which we really should have done before casting off.
It is amazing how is day is broken down into the basics....getting ready to cruise, cruising, and getting ready for the next day cruise....pretty basic but it gives one a satisfying fullness from the day. Yes, we are a long way from our D.C. lives. Have a great day...

Ahoy Mates!
You guys need some comments!!
I just wanted to say that I've really been enjoying the reading of your adventures and all the pictures of the week. Sounds like you're having fun and enjoying the seas...they agree with you.
Can't wait to see you in September...Miss you a TON. Wish we were there with you....There's something about the sound of basics...getting ready for a cruise...crusing and just relaxing and Smelling the Roses are in your case the Sea that sounds appealing.
Have fun!
Love you Lots~

Where's the excitement? I'm telling you, you need SAILS!!! 10 knots is practically becalmed...30, now that's more like it, you can get somewhere! Just kidding. I'm so glad you're enjoying your pre?- semi?- retirement? Looks like a wonderful journey so far. I've really enjoyed reading about it, and the pictures are magnificent! Happy cruising! JC
