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.

Speaking of Yamahas, were took a little vacation a couple of weeks ago to Playa Mujeres just outside of Cancun. We did the snorkeling trip to Isle Mujeres, and while there waiting for the boat to take us back to the resort, we had a beer and some guacamole at a ocean front restaraunt at the docks. As I sat there looking out at all the boats, I noticed there were two kinds different outboards in view... old two strokes, and new Yamahas. Yamaha seems to have captured the outboard market. It's the same story everywhere I go.

If you're looking for an all adult, all inclusive place to relax for a while, I can recommend the Excellence Resort at Playa Mujeres. We've been there twice, and it's a really nice place. We stayed in the Excellence Club Two-Story Rooftop Terrace suite... nice!
