In May we sailed northwest up the Potomac anchoring in the wide Port Tobacco River where we took this picture of an historic old Maryland church on a distanct hill. A storm had just blown over. We had hard rain and 30 knot winds and we were slowly making our way across the shallow entry to this river. Hearing the 5 o'clock church bell playing hymns after we anchored was a welcome end to the first day. |

On we plugged to quaint little Occoquan and a small marina near Lynn's Aunt Lois and Uncle By who live in Manassas nearby for a visit. At last, someone to ferry
us around on errands for food and boat supplies. We are now hard at work trying to sell our dinghy and we listed it on Ebay. We are having work done on the stern
soon and won't have a place to carry it. We must get a smaller one.
Sailing farther up the Potomac we stopped at the dock at Mt Vernon to visit Ole George's place and it was really lovely in all it's spring glory. We especially enjoyed the garden tour and seeing the mansion once again. |
