We left our anchorage early Thursday morning to a beautiful sunrise and a gorgeous day to cruise into Washington. It's always a goose bump time cruising into our Nation's Capital. The history starts to unfold as we come into the Washington Channel as the Washington Monument, the Capitol, and Jefferson Memorial come into view. Our marina, Capital Yacht Club, is on the Washington Channel with a view of the Washington Monument off our bow.
So much to see and so much to do. First stop, the fish market about a block from our marina and it's huge. You can get fresh fish, clams, crabs, and just about any kind of seafood you can think of. You can get it fresh, live, or they will cook it for you. We have been there three times, and I'm sure we will be there several times before we leave. Oh, first stop was Joel and Marion's for cocktails on their 49 DeFever RPH. They are DeFever cruising friends who stay here for the summer. Friday, I met up with Joel and Marion for a game of golf at the course just across the Washington Channel from our marina.
I'm not going to go through all the places we have gone so far, you will see them in the pictures. The only place photos are not allowed is the Holocaust Museum. Wow, what an experience! We are wearing out the wheels on Bee and Bop (our bicycles). Washington is a great place to bicycle.
September Song (so much to see, and it's all free) out

Seagulls feeding in our wake.
The Norwegian Queen passed us on her way South on the Potomac. Or should I say waked us.
Loved this blog about my hometown. I live about 9 miles from where you are. We have a home on the Rappahannock River as well and last weekend I was able to slip over and see Karen and Jeff. They said they'd be seeing you in a week. I love your blog. Thank you so much for sharing your travels.
