May 29 Rain! Arrrghhh! Hung around the boat, getting things done. Took Millie for a long walk, got wet, but got some much needed exercise. All's good!
May 30 I woke up about 4 am to the sound of rain pelting on the cabin roof. No surprise there!
While we were out today, eight other looper boats arrived at Half Moon Bay, making a total of 11 looper boats in the Marina. Carol and Tom aboard Destinations, invited us and four other looper couples to join them for docktails (boat speak for cocktails). We each bring our own beverage and nibbles to share. It was so much fun! I’m lovin’ the looper lifestyle!

When we finally got up a few hours later, the rain had subsided, but the skies were overcast and Tim had to put the heat on to warm up the main cabin.
After breakfast, we walked about ½ mile to the Enterprise car rental office and got a nice Nissan SUV to take up to West Point Military Academy for a tour. The drive was only about 25 minutes, but we missed the next tour by literally seconds. So we hung around for another 45 minutes until the next tour began, and was it worth the wait! Our tour guide, Molly, was as informative and entertaining as any tour guide we have ever experienced.

West Point is quite impressive, both in size and significance. The tour was both by bus and on foot and we learned a detailed overview of it all. Molly had her father, husband and two of her children graduate from West Point, so she was a wealth of knowledge on the subject. The Class of 2017 had just had their graduation this past Saturday, so the campus was relatively quiet, though we were treated to a group of air assault cadets who were going through some sort of discipline training on the ground. Though we were quite a distance away, we knew this because they kept repeating “air assault, sir” in unison.

After our tour, we had lunch across from the West Point Welcome Center, before heading back to Half Moon Bay. Once back, we picked up fellow looper Carol from Destinations (who we had previously met at the Spring Rendezvous) and made a trip to the grocery store to reprovision.
