On the Kiwi Kruzer to get gas ftom Cobb island's Capt John marina when the navy patrol boat pulled us over to tell us they were shooting at Dahlgrens, and in order to get to Cobb island we were going to have to go past buoy M, which was way out of the way. So we decided to go to Dockside on the Virginia side and after some comical difficulty docking, found out they were closed and out of fuel anyway. Called Steppes Marina, no answer after several calls and texts, but we eventually discovered they too are out of fuel. So we returned home, mission not accomplished.  But at least we got the day on the water.
