GRACE was launched on March 24th. We moved aboard right away and set sail for the Potomac River on March 25th. We spent 6 days at The Wharf in Washington, D.C., exploring the Smithsonian and monuments to our hearts' content. Next, we sailed to the the Albemarle Sound and visited marinas on the Albemarle Loop. The second week in May, we returned up the Bay to Worton Creek, via Smith Island. Every day was a wonderful adventure, with too many details for me to do justice to here. Look for me in person and I'll be happy to recount a tale! Or, visit my blog at sailinggracefully4.wordpress.com
