Washington D.C.

Looks like the weather will keep us in Washington until Thursday.  We will leave here bound for Hampton, VA.  The winds between here and Hampton are forecast to be in the mid-teens up to 30 knots through the rest of the week.  We plan to head down the Potomac to Point Lookout and decide when we can proceed from there to Hampton.

We took advantage of the situation by doing laundry and restocking the boat.  We got to know some of the Capital Yacht Club members and other sailors who are also waiting out the weather.  Freddi and Scott met us at the dinghy dock and welcomed us to the CYC.  Freddi is the CYC commodore.  Scott is the commodore for the Seven Seas Cruising Association.  Carla and I are associate members of SSCA.  We had a great evening getting to know each other.

After Happy Hour, Carla and I visited the Jefferson Memorial.  Really impressive at night.


We stopped by the Washington Fish Market on the way to the Jefferson Memorial.  The variety of seafood was amazing and the prices were great.  Salmon tonight for dinner and scallops tomorrow.
