Porty Goes To Washington DC

For those of you who don't know, Porty is the name of our dinghy! We had a great trip the final 20 something miles up the Potomac. The current was favorable even though the wind direction was not. We are anchored in the Washington Channel; a stone's throw away from all the monuments, museums, etc. The sky became cloudless when we arrived. We are able to use the dinghy dock, showers, laundry, and computer at The Capital Yacht Club for $15.00 a day; not too bad for lodging in DC! After getting settled we set off to see the sights - The World War II, The Lincoln, The Jefferson, The Korean War, The Vietnam War, and The Roosevelt Memorials. I was too tired to cook so we went out to dinner at Jenny's a Asian Fusion Restaurant above The Yacht Club - delicious dumplings, pad thai, and General chicken. How amazing to be in DC!
