Default Organized Down River Run - Potomac

I feel like a lot of us Potomac boaters get stuck in the Gilligans/Tims area (I know I did). Late last season I was making a lot of runs to Cobb Island and Coles Point and really enjoyed it. Anyone interested in perhaps doing a day run down that way, or an overnight down that way? Non holiday, non poker run weekend? River is very nice down there and very laid back.

I'm in too! I'm all over the river(s) and bay. St. Clements, Tall Timbers, St. George Is. are a few others. I like to head north too, National Harbor, Old Town, G-Town, Maine Ave.

Love the up north run too. Bill with the 45 Sonic put together a real nice trip up north at the end of last season. Let's all pick some dates and get this on our calendars. Any ideas on dates, stops? South of the 301 we have Cobb Island, Colonial Beach, Cobb Island, Coles Pointe... anything else notable?

Good luck finding a group to commit to a overnight trip, never worked for me but maybe you'll have better luck and I'll be glad to join in.

Fitzies, Tall Timbers, Kinsale, St Mary's Yacht Center (Dennis Pt Marina), Spinnakers at Pt Lookout, to add a few more

We are wanting to go to Tangier Isl and Tides Inn on the Rappahanock as well as some other trips plus poker runs this year. We will keep everyone informed as the more the merrier.

And the north run to DC will be held again this year just not on OC's bike weekend, whenever that is

We have a great beach at the mouth of the Potomac where we hang out, deep water right up to the beach. If you make it that far let's hook up.

We plan to run up your way more this summer

Pt Lookout State Park has a nice 1/2 mile beach near the mouth of the Potomac that you can get close enough to drop anchor and wade in. There is no park road access to that beach, so perfect for a group of boats. The park marina is just behind the beach for snacks, bathrooms, or gas (and boat ramps)...

I spent the night in that harbor many yrs. ago. We stayed tied up to the campground docks. Nice diocks, showers, etc.
