This week&#39;s trip will be on the Class II George Washington Canal. We will cross the Potomac to run the canal and then re-cross to return via the C&amp;O Canal. Since the river is coming down from 10&#39; last Sunday, there may be new strainers so attendees will need good boat control in Class II water. Flotation required this week.<br /><br />Meet at 9:30 am in order to be on the water at 10 am. Address: Violette’s Lock parking lot, 13948 Violette’s Lock Rd, Poolesville MD.
