11 May 2016 – Deltaville, Virginia – Point Lookout, Maryland
Today turned out to be rainy with thunderstorms as we motored up the Potomac River to Point Lookout. We were thankful we have radar and AIS because visibility was low. And with radar we were able to track the thunderstorms and anticipate how long they would last and when the next band would be approaching.
Thankfully the weather cleared in time for us to more easily navigate Smith Creek as we approached Point Lookout Marina. Even with the overcast skies we could tell this is a really pretty area and we definitely plan to come back down here to explore a bit more later this summer or on our way south in the fall.
We have been told the marina has a lovely restaurant, but alas it wasn’t open today – a regular trend for us, so instead we enjoyed dinner on board enjoying the view and relishing the peaceful quiet.
