We start off buying our ticket at the Washington Harbor, and talking about the Harbor and the view of the river from that point. (3:10)

We board the Matthew Hayes. While we wait on the boat, we talk a little about the river. We hear the safety and informational announcements. Once under weigh, we begin to move down the river, past the Kennedy Center and the Watergate. (7:02)

We go under several bridges. As we approach the Memorial Bridge, we also begin to see the memorials on the mall, including the Lincoln Memorial, as well as the Washington Monument and East Potomac Park, where we catch a glimpse of Iwo Jima, and Arlington Cemetary on the Virginia side. (13:30)

We play This Day was Made for Sailing by A Sunken Ship Irony. This comes to us courtesy of the Podsafe Music Network. (16:07)

We continue on south, under the 14th Street Bridge, and past National Airport. We get to see the Awakening at the south end of East Potomac Park. (20:04)

After wondering what the residential are is off the port side, we discover that it is the US Naval Research Laboratory, and head on south. (27:01)

We finally arrive in Old Town Alexandria, at the Torpedo Factory, and wrap up while listening to drummers. (29:49)
