Sounds like a fun trip. I ran up to Old Town last Friday. Keep your eyes open for debris. I'll be out somehwere on Sat. I might take a ride up to Maine Ave. to pick up some seafood.

Going to G-Town? Maybe I can talk my wife into going out Sunday too.

But, Sunday is our 18th anniv., so she might have other ideas. :argue:

We take our time and only cruise about 40 mph, nothing to be in a rush for. We love to come up to the Potomac, so much to do.
Old Town Alexandria is really a neat little place with all the bars and shops. Everything is not that far either.

I was looking for you today. I got up to G-Town around 2 PM, the wall was full. So, we went around to Maine Ave. Picked up some seafood and blasted back down river.

We made it to G-Town today, after dodging all the debris to the Wilson bridge. but it wasnt so bad further north. Had perfect timing as we pulled up to The Wall a boat was pulling out so we sqeezed right in, with the help of some cruizer yuppies:drink:
Got a late start, didn't see Top Heavy or Superstitious(Dave M), but there were four other performance boats un-tying as we got there.

Dave M 10-10-2011 06:44 AM

I ended up putting in at Goose Bay. Cruised up to Fairview, there was a couple dozen boats hangin. Then to Gilligans for dinner.

We launched at Cobb Island, headed over to Colonial Beach for lunch.
