Sometimes there are moments that make goosebumps on our arms. Sometimes we can glance and see the most amazing things in nature. The past few days we have been making our way back south towards New Bern, NC our home port. We left the Chesapeake having made so many fun memories, and have had a few goosebumps along the way. We sure enjoyed our trip to Washington DC. We left Point Lookout at the mouth of the Potomac and started across the mouth of the Chesapeake . We saw several schools of Dolphins. Ron could see them diving and swimming under Pale Moon. We spent a few days in Deltaville and then on to Hampton, Va where I was able to visit with my long time friend, Kim. We traveled to Great Bridge, Va and arrived here in Coinjock today.
While we were in Great Bridge, Va at Atlantic Yacht Basin last month I noticed and took a picture of an older wooden boat called a Trumpy. The boat was out of the water and restoration work was being completed. Yesterday when we arrived at Atlantic Yacht Basin we noticed that the Trumpy was in the water, the Coast Guard was there for an inspection. Ron talked to the dock-master and he said that this boat’s name was actually Sequoia and was at one time the Presidential Yacht. I was able to take a few pictures and then we walked along the dock to get a closer look. Presidents from Herbert Hoover , Franklin D Roosevelt, J F Kennedy and Ronald Regan to name a few were on and used the Yacht. The boat is now owned by a private company.
