Sailing out of Belle Haven Marina on a Sunny/Cool Wednesday
Belle Haven Marina, located just South of
historic Old Town Alexandria, is a quaint, scenic marina owned by the National
Park Service. I and a friend enjoyed a sunny 70F day sailing over the Potomac
River via the marina surrounded by Dyke Marsh, is an oasis for boaters in the
busy Washington, DC area. The wind was trickily
changeable, so the Marina required at least three people per boat. Although my
friend planned to persuade the Marina to make him an exception based upon his
experience, I hunted and found two other boaters to group and sail together.
They drove 2.5 hrs from Harrisonburg, VA to sail so they were very happy to
sail with us, instead of driving back another 2.5 hrs without sailing. We
exchanged life experience and stories and had a blast. My new friend explained
to me her post Lyme disease issues, and we are planning o organize a support
group and/or meetup to increase public awareness.
