Final week on the Potomic and return to Cincinnati 10/20/10

On October the 9th we attended an Oyster Roast in Lottsburg for the benefit of the local Republican Party. It was held at a local seafood company and featured baskets of freshly caught Chesapeake Bay oysters. Pictures show how they were steamed in wire baskets in large kettles. Real butter and hot sauce were provided: we brought our own fresh lemons.

The oysters were then dumped on a long concrete table were we "went to town" with our borrowed oyster knifes.

Live music, hot dogs, chips and ice cream were also provided for our enjoyment. We stayed till the end so we could meet Rob Wittmen, the gentleman running for congress from this region. His competition was a lady named Krystal Ball. What mother with the last name Ball names her daughter Kyrstal?

Now our journey winds down and we prepared the boat for winter storage. Over nine hundred miles from Florida's west coast to the Potomac River in Virginia at an average speed of ten miles per hour. Every mile was awesome. Filled with new sights and wonderful people. Now we're home in Mason to enjoy the holidays and spend the winter thinking "Spring" and new adventures.
