Washington, D.C. We've been anchored in the Potomac at the Capital Yacht Club for the past week. Ideal location for taking in sights like the Smithsonian museums and area monuments (Washington spire in background). Unfortunately our anchorage is situated on the flight path between the White House and nearby airports. So several times each day we are buzzed by low flying police and Presidential helicopters whose official occupants no doubt view us with the same mix of curiosity and suspicion that we have for them.
