[Rhodes22-list] We're In the Water!

[mputnam1 at aol.com]

I've glanced over the edge of the bridge and thought I saw some sailboats down there ... so there must be clearance for a mast.  But beyond that, I don't know anything about that marina.  I think it's mostly powerboats.  And it's possible you wouldn't have access to the Potomac because of mast height issues -- maybe just the Anacostia river.  But I could be wrong about that ...

Do you know anything about the washington marina on the DC side that is around 
6th st on the Potomac?  I believe it is only about 1.5 miles from the national 
mall.
