First day of our cruise to the Bahamas! Finally loaded the boat and were underway at 10:30 AM, after a last night dinner at Dockside with our dear friend Peggy Saylor. The prime rib dinner was fantastic! Weather today was very good, clear and sunny with 12 knots of wind pushing us straight down the Potomac with 2-foot rollers astern. We made an easy three-and-a-half-hour trip to Olversons, topped off our fuel and stay tied up at the fuel dock for the evening. We have 100 miles to travel tomorrow to Norfolk before a 5:00 PM sunset. While at Olversons, we met with our friend Kathy Dow who we met 20 years ago on the Great Loop. She and her late husband Ross traveled over 20 years living aboard their trawler. We also traveled with them in the Bahamas and up the East coast. They docked and lived aboard at Port Kinsale for 12 years; she moved to Olversons following Ross’s death. Always great to see and reminisce our adventures together and there’s been quite a few! A few pictures below.
