We again decided to meet Josh for a last-minute paddle, this time at Belle Haven Marina in Alexandria, VA. The weather was not our friend so we were only on the water for about 40 minutes before the storms came.
Parking was easy, we drove all the way down to the right once you enter the marina. There was no boat launch fee, however, I was told that technically there is but it is not enforced. They also have rentals.
We started to head toward Dyke Marsh but due to the pending storm we decided to just do a quick loop around so Josh could introduce us to his local paddle spot. Can't wait to go back here for a longer paddle. It was pouring by the time we got back to our car.

rough start to 2016
Our 2016 kayak season got off to a slow start. Cool weather in the Spring followed by me breaking my foot in May delayed us getting our boats out.
In late July we tried taking my friend from Atlanta out on the Potomac. She rented at Fletcher's Boat House and we launched there for free. We got on the Potomac at 11:15ish, paddled up river towards Chain Bridge. The sky looked ominous so we turned around, making it to the cars just as the skies opened up. Total time on the water was less than 45 minutes.
