At 8:55 this morning Scoperta & Quest said their goodbyes to Barb & Skip (Moor $tuff) who are staying a few more days in DC then heading to NY, and headed out. Quest has traveled with them most of the time since early last November and we will miss their company and hope to catch them next spring as we head north again. Our first stop was just a mile away at James Creek where Scoperta got fuel and we both wanted a pump out but it was broken.
We passed the presidential yacht that was in her slip at our marina ...
The Reagan Airport which was directly across the water from us ....
And the nations capital.
This place had more helicopters in the air than I have ever seen.The tide was with us as we traveled down the Potomac and we were able to cruise very nicely over 10 mph most of the day. We planned to stop for the night at Capt. Billy's Crabhouse but when we pulled in to very shallow water, rickety docks and stiff currents that really rocked us at 3:50 p.m., we decided to not stay here and go on to Colonial Beach.
The next 11 miles were getting rough but after such a nice trip up to now we could handle another hour plus. We arrived at Colonial Beach Yacht Center at 5:45 which is very nice having traveled 73 miles.
Across from us is this brand new 72 foot Nordhaven that the couple is going round the world on. Has to be a $10 million dollar boat at least. The dinghy has twin outboards WITH RADAR!
