We delayed our departure from National Harbor due to rain showers but made the short hour trip to Capital Yacht Club before lunch. After getting secured and passing the electrical test to ensure that the boat was not leaking current back to the dock we were welcomed and checked in. We had lunch on board and made plans for our stay. We later went for a walk to find the metro station that we'll use to go to the museums and National Mall to see the monuments. On the way back we picked up some ribs from a sidewalk truck that I'd read about before. Have to have ribs on the 4th. The rain came again about 400 pm but only lasted a little over an hour. Everyone got together on the dock about 530 pm with horderves to share. It was nice talking to folks that are on this cruise that we had not been traveling with. After a quick dinner it was up on the fore deck to watch the fireworks. It didn't disappoint us!
