By Captain:

Another season is now history, the day started for me at 4:30 AM. I arrived at the DD at 6:30 AM it was raining and to my surprise Grumpy was already there eating breakfast. Mac arrived at 6:45 AM and Grumpy bought coffee and breakfast for us both. Pogy called to say he was on his way home early from Quantito, VA, the sky was clear no rain.

We left at 7:30 AM with me in the lead MAC as sweep and Grumpy in the cradle. We were in the rain till we reached NJTP. Headed south and arrived early at the VFW at 11:10 AM. We lunched at the hall, Grumpy's treat. At check-in Grumpy got his patch, he made his 30 points, Mac received his 60 point pin and I closed the season with 82 points. Kudos' all around.

Departed at 11:45 AM along the beach. Mac pulled over with a battery light displayed made some adjustments and we were off again heading North. Hit a lot of traffic intermittently an split at the Merrit for them as I contact to I95. I was home by 5:00 PM. The sun was bright temp at 59 deg.
