July 22-24
A long weekend of boating fun and adventure!
Join us on your boat, or come for the day on your own or another boat as a “Day Tripper”
Most boats will go through one lock to get to our meeting point, Watergate Marina.
(Reserve your slip as soon as possible!)
See the working itinerary below for more details.
Experienced boaters are available to help you crew your boat through the locks. Let us know if you’re interested.
