Day 14 Last night in Annapolis Harbor


Wow....2 full weeks since we left Portsmouth, RI. We have travelled 372 miles and look forward to moving toward warmer places. Today we went into town and sat for coffee on the waterfront. Annapolis is such a charming little "city" atmosphere.....especially at this time of year-before the boat show madness starts. We are enjoying our last night here before moving to Back Creek and tie up in a marina to have the water maker installed. It is further from the center and walking for Peter is out of the question with his bad knee. So we will have to dingy somewhere closer and hope for a landing spot. There are boats coming and going each day, not all heading south but we think just getting in the last days of the season. Every day we look forward to watching 3 different clubs send out their little boats to practice. Yesterday the kids were fighting heavy winds, about 3 overturned, but it didn't knock a feather out of them. Today they went out in a torrential rainstorm. This afternoon we saw s/v Arabella, a 3 masted charter cruiser which we have seen around the RI area, pull up at the city dock. It must be heading South to the Bahamas or Caribbean for the winter.
