I believe that taxi goes only to Old Town, Alexandria. I suppose you noticed the big, empty docking
space. Once we were going up river and decided to stop at NH to get a cup of coffee. We pulled up to
the dock, which was empty - about a quarter mile of it - and a young man in a green jacket comes
running asking if he can help. We said we were just going to walk up and grab a Starbucks or
something. He then told us the docking fee was $10/hour. We left, went to the Old Town dock by the
park (free) and had our Starbucks there. I don't think I've ever seen any boats docked there, unless
they were in the marina.


I don't know. You can see from the pictures, there were a lot of boats
there. (big ones)

Maybe you should have just dropped off the missus, idled around a
while and had her bring the coffee back. Starbucks is right there on
the Corner of the Westin.
