We left Nomini Creek on 31st October and headed up the Potomac River.  We had adverse current all the way up as a result of the flood waters and had to navigate our way through the enormous amount of debris and floating logs which had been dislodged by the storm.  We finally reached the Washington Channel anchorage as the light was fading on the evening of 1st November and have since been enjoying another amazing culture frenzy of museums, galleries, memorials and government institutions.
