Thursday October 15 – Sunday October 18, 2015
We love the looper rendezvous. We had power point presentations on what to expect from Rogersville, Alabama to the spring rendezvous in Norfolk, Virginia. We had demonstrations on safety equipment, the differences between flares, how to deploy a life raft, and what to bring. Jim participated in the dinghy race. His partner was blindfolded, and Jim had to tell him which way to go, backwards, around a course. It was hilarious! At the rendezvous, we met lots of people, toured lots of boats, and wrote down lots of good ideas! It is always a great event. On Sunday we drove all day, back to Grafton, then borrowed the marina courtesy van to return the rental car in Alton. We also went grocery shopping. We are ready for the big trip down the Mississippi.
