Good sail from Baltimore to Annapolis last
Thursday. Anchored off the Naval Academy as mooring buoys can only take boats up
to 45ft. Flat calm water that evening so all was fine.
Met up with our Annapolis friends Ed and Molly who
we met when we were in Bucks Harbor, Maine, and had a few drinks with them at
the Annapolis Yacht Club.
The wind picked up during the night and the sea got
much agitated which made the night a little uncomfortable. So we left the next
morning for St Michaels. Good sail. We dropped the anchor in the bay and went on
exploring the town. Very pleasant. Loads of "Antique Shops", Art Galleries. Did
our grocery shopping, stopped at the bar on the dock for a sundowner and back
onboard for dinner. Beautiful night.
Next morning we expected 20kts + of wind but
instead it was flat calm again with beautiful sunshine. So we had to motor all
the way back to Annapolis. Lovely day on the water though Very hot.
Arrived in Annapolis at about 3PM yesterday and
anchored off the Naval Academy again. As it was Kay and Phil's last night
onboard we went for a crab dinner at a famous local restaurant called
"Cantler's". Very good fun and lovely meal.
Kay and Phil left at lunch time today so now we are
the two of us for the next few weeks.
There are a few boat things now to sort out, like
getting our jib repaired, find Propane gas bottle, etc.
We will more likely stay here this week and then
see what the weather is doing before deciding where to go next.
The Annapolis Boat Show is on next weekend and we
will take a look at it and also probably meet with Kathleen's brother Kenny
which will be good.
Beautiful weather again today.
Bisous
Catherine and Mike
