OK

Date is Sept 17. Details are as follows:

Meet up Tim's II Fairview 11:00
Run up to Tim's 1 arrive 11:30 or so
Leave Tim's 1 between 2:00 and 3:00 or so
Arrive Old Town Alexandria by 4:00 or so.
Tie up get slip assignments, then maybe or not head up to Georgetown "The Wall", go over to National Harbor, whatever we feel like doing or not doing

Dinner to be decided, Lighthorse last time was a great choice.

Then, well you figure it out.

This is a non sponsored fun run for those of us that want to show off our boats to the northern Potomac and have a great time with friends and hopefully meet some new ones. All are welcome.

Not your best choice by far, Old Town Alexandria has some great places to eat. From fine dining to pizza. I have been many times as 45 Sonic has, we can point you in the right direction. Old Town also has a free trolley with great A/C. With a $10.00 refundable deposit, you get very nice bathrooms. Great night life on the docks, and they close the docks to the general public at 10.00 PM, but it is wide open to slip holders.

I'm going to make this if it kills me. I boat broke the first time out this summer and it's still in the shop but will be out and working by the end of August. I boated down that way some last summer and it was nice. Would be fun to meet up with some others down that way.

Was anybody out on the Potomac this past weekend? I'm wondering how bad is the debris?

I have a few hours to kill today, but don't want to tear up my boat either.
