Today was another day that we appreciated the pilothouse on Monarch. It was cool and rainy all day, but we were warm and dry inside the boat. Areas around Washington, D.C. were supposed to get over 3 inches of rain.
We were still able to appreciate the sights along the river. This is historic Fort Washington, just
downriver from the capital.
Even in bad weather, Mt. Vernon is a beautiful spot. There is a dock on the river available to the public for daytime docking, to view the house and grounds. This was George and Martha Washington's home.
There were many large homes along the Virginia shoreline, just south of the Capital.
We liked this home, as they also had a big boat. (It may look small in this picture but it is probably 70 foot in length.)
Tonight in the pouring rain (too bad for the photographer to venture out!), we are securely anchored in Canoe Neck Creek, about 75 miles south of Washington, D.C. just off the Potomac River. We are protected through 360 degrees, as the cove is well sheltered. A few homes and farms dot the shore, but we have the anchorage to ourselves.
