We departed from Portsmouth, VA at 0800 hours and our destination was Smithfield, VA to spend a couple of days visiting with our good friends and Wayne and Judy McPhail... they are MTOA members that we met at an MTOA rendezvous that was held at Tidewater Marina in Portsmouth in I believe 2006 or was it 2007... anyway, the McPhails invited any MTOA members to come up to Smithfield after the rendezvous and we went... and we have become good friends since then... we try to visit them on our trip north and south each year if at all possible... they are absolutely awesome people!
