August 17
We're back! After 3 months at home in Texas, we have returned to another leg of our journey. We plan to stay in Chesapeake Bay for three months and see the sites. Our grand finale will be the Annapolis Boat Show in October and then we will head back to Dallas for the winter.
When we arrived by taxi to Ocean Marine dock, Loop Dreams was suspended in air on a travel lift and was waiting for us to put her in water. We anxiously boarded the boat, and were about to start the engines...but wait, where are the keys?? After a mad search in the sweltering boat they were finally discovered tied to the door key. She started without a hitch and off we went to to put her in an Ocean Marine slip so we could scrub her down and get provisions for the trip. Come to find out a dock party was planned that evening and we were invited. We parked right next to Sonata, another looper we met earlier this year. We enjoyed our evening and it was fun catching up with Bonnie and Charlie on Sonata. Portsmouth is their home dock and after listening to them tell us about all the wonderful sites to see in this area, we were anxious to get started.
Party time! First night back and we lucked into a dock party.
Slipped next to Sonata, Charlie and Bonnie Burke at Portsmouth. Ocean Marine was a wonderful experience!
Putting our dingy in the water...it had blown off Loop Dreams in a storm while she was on the hard in Portsmouth and needed some repairs.
