    Suppose you follow the Potomac River to DC, then keep going.  Past Reagan Airport, past the Kennedy Center, Georgetown and the Key Bridge.  You go another three miles, where the river is narrow, fast and deep, with huge rocks on both sides.  Just past Chain Bridge, this is the sight that will greet you. 

    Little Falls is the end of the tidal Potomac.  It's quite a thrill to see and hear the falls from the helm of a cruiser.  The river is maybe 60 feet wide there ... just enough room to hook a fast U-turn.  I felt like one of those Niagra Falls boats.

    Had to grab my good camera for this shot.  


    Wow not much room for error there!!

    Finally, a pontoon boat I respect!  It is not trying to be something it isn't or shouldn't be (namely a ski boat).

    The fishermen and paddlers were looking at me like I was a space alien.  I would highly recommend this cruise to anybody that visits DC, but you need to be on your toes!

    These were taken last night on my old home lake in Northern Ontario. My nephews brand new Pontoon boat. That's my Dad who I haven't seen since he had a double bypass back in January. Cases here are low so we decided to take a chance on a visit, staying apart as well as we can. It's a beautiful area except for the 6 months of mosquitos and 8 months of snow.

    How far north? 
    Hoping to get my Dad out on our boat this year...but he’s not that nimble around docks anymore. Mom is pretty much bulletproof at the same age. 
    We’ll see.

    Neat,  raybo, sometimes I'll drive out of my way to see a light house while on vacation. Do you have any idea when it was built?

    @randy56 yes it was built in 1716. In 1998 they automated it but its still staffed by the USCG but for tours only. It's located at the "Little Brewster Island" in Boston Outer Harbor.

    Found it, and more pictures and info. interesting.

    Address: Little Brewster Island, Boston, MA
    Height: 89′
    Opened: 1716
    Automated: 1998

    The historic Boston Light overlooks the sea from Little Brewster Island, casting a light beam 27 miles into the Atlantic. This island is home to the oldest continually used and last staffed lighthouse in the country, which dates back to the Revolutionary War. Prior to housing Boston Light, the island was used for sending signal fires to aid novice travelers navigating the dangerous sandbars and unpredictable weather.

    Today, Little Brewster Island is an active U.S. Coast Guard navigational aid facility. To view this historic lighthouse or simply take in the beautiful views of the harbor, take a two-hour Boston Harbor Lighthouse Cruise narrated by National Park Service and U.S. Coast Guard staff.

    The lighthouse survived invasion and war over the years. In 1774 the British overtook the island and Boston Light was partially destroyed. A new lighthouse was erected in place of the old in 1783, which still stands today. The tower was later raised to 89 feet in the 1850s to accommodate the new second order Fresnel lens.
