Potomac

Usually, we just cross the mouth of the Potomac but it looked like good weather and the current was with us so we explored. State boundaries on the river are marked by small orange and white buoys really not too different than the signs that mark the highway and say welcome to Massachusetts etc. But it was odd to pass a buoy that said State Border MD and VA. . For the most part the Potomac is MD water and VA starts at the high tide mark along the south side. I wonder how that decision was made? People who live in Va cross state lines every time they go into the water. We visited an island that is eroding rapidly. By the shore fossilized shark's teeth are appearing. In theory they are 10,000 years old. I thought that if they were that old they would be bigger. Also Blackbeard is thought to have visited these waters but no doubloons or pieces of eight appeared.
