I took advantage of an absolutely beautiful morning to paddleboard around Mattox Creek. There was no wind, no boat traffic, and not a ripple on the water. It doesn't get much better than that for paddleboarding!

Took our pontoon boat out to the Potomac River and just floated for a while. Great way to stay comfortable in this heat.

I was originally going to go paddleboarding but the average wind speed was around 6 mph or so and I decided to go sailing instead. Headed out to the Potomac River but after about an hour I heard thunder and thought it best to return.

One of about 15 dolphins in the Potomac
Beached the Pontoon Boat in Colonial Beach while Karen did her errands.
Karen had an errand to do in Colonial Beach and taking the pontoon boat seemed like more fun than driving into town. We were treated to seeing 10-15 dolphins in the Potomac River. Not unheard of but in the 10 years that I’ve been living here I’ve only seen dolphins 4 times.

Karen and I went out to the Potomac for about a 1/2 hour. Cruising at about 20 mph was a great way to stay cool in this heat.
