The Capital Yacht Club is located 95 miles up the Potomac River from the Chesapeake Bay on the Washington Channel in the heart of the Nation's Capital. The Potomac is one of the most historic and beautiful rivers in the United States. In May each year, over 2,500 pairs of Great Blue Herons leave their nests at Nanjemoy Creek to fill the skies over the Potomac. There are many good marinas and sheltered anchorages along the way for those who want to spend an extra day or two enroute to Washington. Within an easy ten minute walk are Arena Stage Theater, the many Smithsonian museums, the Tidal Basin with colorful cherry trees, L'Enfant Shopping Plaza, Waterside Shopping Mall, and access to the metropolitan area subway. Monuments, the Capitol, the http://www.whitehouse.gov, Botanical Gardens, and numerous other delights are nearby.
