Well after a very long day Nana and Nandad decided to drop anchor at Chapman Cove. Although only a few miles from Mount Vernon it was close to six in the evening and from past experiences we have learned that it’s best not to tempt fate! The River is much wider than Nana expected and the scenery is really quite magnificent. The mouth of the River is more broad and flat while the upstream is more forested with cliffs and big houses lining the shore.
Tuesday morning we got up early expecting to visit Mount Vernon by boat! Well unfortunately the dock for the boats was closed and the Anchorage area very shallow so it was decided to call it a day, take some pictures and perhaps take a cruise boat from Washington.
Beautiful Mount Vernon from NH with the little red tug that did manage to anchor and dingy to the dock. It has a two foot draft!
