It's good to be in Washington amongst friends again and a relief to put the anchor away for the season. After five months on the hook, we were ready for a break - both mentally and physically. We can finally relax and let our guard down (somewhat) now that we don't have a course to plot, weather to watch, or decisions to make. And, as much as we love living aboard Cambria, we're looking forward to spending some time on land and with our families.
The weather continued to be miserable all week with high winds and plenty of rain making it more difficult to get things organized, but we managed to pack and clean things up. Our plan is to leave tomorrow morning for San Diego, so we had dinner up at the house with Jeff and Karry to say our good-byes. It was another wonderful night with plenty of wine and laughter that will surely leave us worse for the wear in the morning.
