I couldn’t resist going out for an hour or so sail on this near perfect autumn afternoon.  Temperatures in the 70’s with a 5-mph wind.

  • Crossing the Potomac to Cobb Island with our bicylces
  • Our Cobb Island bike ride, just over 10 miles.
  • Captain John's

Pontoon boat across the Potomac to Cobb Island. One of the best outings of the season for several reasons.  Reason # 1, Karen’s 100th day on the water!  Rason # 2, we took our bikes along with us, so we got to ride on I believe every street on Cobb Island.  Reason # 3, I had some terrific friend oysters at Captain Johns.

  • Paddling a short distance up a riparian
  • Bigfoot sporting a tropical shirt
  • The sunken sailboat

Kayaked with Karen across Mattox Creek and up a riparian area that we were told about.  Because it was low tide we didn’t get very far.  We will have to go back when the tide is high.  After seeing Big Foot, we decided to get out of there and paddled to the sunken sailboat then back home.
