Bayside Marina

Colonial Beach, Virginia

We delayed our departure to St. Marys City this morning due to John’s boat getting hung up on the dock when the tide dropped! It wasn’t Johns fault but none the less we waited for the tide to rise to minimize the possibility of damage to the boat. The tide did rise - and the boat did float free with no damage to the hull.

With our planned departure delayed three hours we changed our plans, bypassed St. Marys City and cruised to Colonial Beach, Virginia 38 miles away. The weather was a little hazy but uneventful.



Colonial Beach is a pleasant city that the six of us walked before having dinner at the marina restaurant. There isn’t mush to see and do just a quiet little place to hide away. Tomorrow we plan for a long day of cruising to Washington, D.C.!
