Default Great day on the Potomac

Took younger daughter, husband, and the grandkids out for a day of playing,
tubing and eating on the
Potomac yesterday. Left Quantico and headed north to a place called
Leesylvania State Park. Nice
place with a nice long beach, camp store, picnic tables, etc. Hadn't been
there before. Boats are
allowed to be brought right up on the beach, if desired, but the water is
shallow for a ways out, so
anchoring is easy.

No problems with the boat. Put the battery in. launched it, and she fired
right up. A 150 Yamaha is
a great engine for tubing! Son-in-law thought he could stay on. He lost.

Great time was had by all.

Two problems here. First the wind has been blowing for days. Big winds.
Ocean is tore up. 2nd, since we are retired, do not have to go out on
weekends and holidays with crowds of boaters.
