Type of watercraft:
Sail
Carey, Steve, Howell, Dave and myself on Arcas and Tom and his crew on Moovin headed south of the Woodrow Wilson Bridge to race down to Mt Vernon. The wind and flooding tide had other ideas but eventually we made almost to Ft Washington before turning around and motor sailing back to the slip. The breeze ranged between one to four knots, and often not at all. We did have one sweet 45 minute beat, light but steady breeze, and no tacks. The moonrise over National Harbor was spectacular.
