20090719: gettin to smith creek

we made it to the potomac river, and a few miles up it to smith creek. on the way we saw a huge sailboat race that was huge, a nifty old lighthouse in the middle of some pretty expansive water that was looking rather old, and a half sunken world war one or two (not sure which) ship that was half out of the water. we saw another lighthouse called "point lookout" right at the mouth of the potomac. a couple of boy's camps lined the shore on our way up the very wide river.
the winds were quite light most of the day, so we ended up motoring a good while.
smith creek is a lovely little inlet, lined with pines and hardwoods. from where we are we can see one big ol'  farm house a ways away, some lights from a marina a little further away, and trees, trees and trees. we like this sort of anchorage!
