Washington, DC - 8/14/11

Up early for a long ride from Colonial Beach to Washington, DC.


It was feeding time for Carfabio .... the crab!





Then we had to unplug the electric cords and get ready to move out.



We left Bayside at 8:10 and headed out into the Potomac River.


The crabbers we busy checking their traps.



Scoperta led followed by Moor $tuff and Quest.

Don't know who owns these radio telescopes but obviously "big brother" is listening.


We passed some very big nice houses along the river.


Mount Vernon



A different looking channel marker.


Fort Washington overlooks the river.



Could this be the president coming in to catch our ropes?



The admiral takes her turn at the wheel.


Moor $tuff hit a floating log and thought they had bent a prop so had to run on one engine for awhile. As it turned out it must have lodged in the prop and released itself later on.



We had some rain but most of the bad stuff went around us.


As we came into the Washington channel we started seeing government buildings.







As we approached Gangplank Marina we noticed the presidential yacht berthed there.


We followed Scoperta into the marina and are berthed on the T-Dock right behind them. A long day of 6 1/2 hours and 72 miles are behind us now.


Tomorrow we plan to tour the city with the Davis family.


Our position at DC is N 38 52.709 W 77 01.547
