Many of our Looper friends crossed paths in past few days!

First we saw Kenny and Rhonda of Nine Lives at Atlantic Yacht Basin (AYB) in Great Bridge VA. ($3.50 gallon diesel!)

We were all out of film. So no pics of Nine Lives crew, sorry to say. Their boat in on the hard for a few months as they RV north to Montana etc! I suspect they’ll be back before the snow flies…

Troy and Sandi Hersom of Edgecomb Maine (AGLCA Harbor Hosts!) passed thru the Great Bridge Lock with us aboard Melody. They stayed at Tidewater Marina in Portsmouth / Norfolk Harbor VA. SO, we had dinner together last evening.
Their vessel was built on the Pacific west coast. Very nice. Trip to Europe (by air) is part of their summer plans. Troy helped Shelly with her lines upon our departure today. THANKS TROY!

I chin-wagged with Brian Shultz of Tiger Paw for 30 minutes or so. He is attending his first AGLCA Rendezvous this week at Waterside in Norfolk. Those are great Looper networking events. We have a busy summer float plan, so we will not be attending the AGLCA festivities.

Tiger Paw’s home marina is Wacca Wache, hailing port Awendaw SC. His boat (another MS390 like ours) is impeccable! Very well cared for.

Last but not least, Ray got to see Mimi and Mike of Islena at Tidewater. This blog post details how they came to our rescue a couple years ago. https://shellerina.com/2021/09/12/log-a-diles/

The night before the log-anchor incident we accepted their hospitality aboard Islena with Mac & Deb of Janthina.

Islena a very nice power cat!

I also got to exchange “Looper Cards” with a new friend, Tamara of WH-T-T who was tied up beside us on Tidewater’s F-Dock.
