Changes

Cruising on one’s own lends itself to a certain amount of flexibility. If we want to stay another day, we do. If we want to leave early, we do that to. And if a destination seems too tasking then we turn around, and thus Washington D.C. was decided to be a bit much especially with temperature hovering around one hundred for weeks at a time.

The Potomac River is wide and long, and then narrow and long. Carrie Rose is at that junction in Colonial Beach, VA. There seem to be fewer and fewer places to hide out on the rest of the trip. The next leg was close to 40NM and then close to that into D.C.

Charlotte and I did the routes, and then both looked up at each other and said, “Forget about it”. So, we are heading back to the bay and the eastern shore. It was a nice idea but probably one for the fall with cooler temperatures and a deficit of thunderstorms.
