Suggesting and help tips: ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— **Cruising** : From Pohick park, go to DC via the channel, to 495 bridge at 30 minutes at 25 mph speed, then pass bridge going to no wake zone,speed at 5 mph. for 20 minutes, then pass 395 bridge, Then boating at this very beautiful views between 395 HW bridge and 66 HW bridge. then going to another no wake zone , speed at 5 mph. then getting Georgetown Waterfront Park dock.

Total round trip may 4 hours around. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-------— **Water sport** : Pohick bay is good place to make water sport, may need to learn how to play and what is key safety before have water sport! I have tube, all in one ZUP board for free with your rental. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————-------————————————— In August 2019, just bought new Zup board which is really fun and easy to play, Suggest you study, watch and learn how to use Zup board video at youtube called Zup Board At Somerset before come on board. It is really cool and fun for this water sport. And it is easy to ride on than knee board and wake board I had before. The key for good ZUP boarding is that the boat speed should keep at 17 mph, High speed will make board jump at water, use Garmin GPSmap 78s to monitor your boat speed, to control your boat speed at 12~18 mph while tubing and ZUP boarding. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-------————— **Music player**: You can bring your music player, CD player or smart phone, connect AUX cable or USB or Bluetooth to Boat. With low speed, no wake zone speed, enjoy your favorite sound and music. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————-------———————— **Phone Charger**: charger and cables. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-------————————— **Food and drink**: Any food and water, no suggest strong alcohol. You can bring ICE and put it to ICE coolers with your food and waters. ——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-------————————— **Garmin GPSmap 78s*** Please learn how to use GPSmap 78s, it is very important that keep boat in chanel always, not go to any shallow water area, and is is very powerful tool that you can use it to show boat speed. ———————————————————————————————————————————————————————-------————— ** Fuel cost*** For the fuel refill, since Pohick bay marina does not have fuel dock, all reater pay the fuel cost by cash, after I haul out boat from water, I will refill gas from gas station (thanks so much for some renter to have tips for this job), it is also cheaper than fuel dock. The fuel cost count like this: One engine hour cost 6 gallons, so we count total engine hours before and after your boating, then your fuel cost is: your engine hours x 6 gallons x gas price (may $2.379, we count current day's gas price), For example, if your engine hours is 4 hours, total fuel cost is: 4 hours x 6 gallons x $2.379, it is $57.096 Notes: difference engine HP have difference engine hours gallons, my boat is 180 HP, i asked another boat owner who has 300 HP engine, their engine hours fuel will be 22 gallons per hour.
