We cruised up the Potomac so we could visit Washington DC. It took us two days to get there. The second night we anchored in Mattawoman Creek. We were all alone and saw this beautiful sunset with the Quarter moon.
Cruising up the river was such a treat. Fall was finally hitting the coast with a passion. The old Woodrow Wilson Bascule Bridge (clearance of 50 feet mhw…we need 65 feet) is now long gone and replaced by the beautiful new one with a clearance of 70 feet. Can you see the Washington Monument through the bridge in the photo? We could also see the dome of the Capitol from quite a distance away. And the planes taking off and/or landing were a treat to watch. The last photo is our view as we approach the Capital Yacht Club where we were docking for a few days ($2 per foot per night) and then we would anchor out in the Potomac for a $16 per night fee for use of the dinghy dock and yacht club. The Yacht Club provides pump out service every Monday and Wednesday and it has great a great laundry room with 5 washers and 5 dryers that only cost $1.50 per load.
Oh yeah, they have an AWESOME fish market right next door to the Yacht Club. It was our first experience with “Blue” Crab. It was only $5 per pound.
