Days 12 & 13 Annapolis Harbor

The Annapolis Bay Bridge-a welcome sight at the end of a long day.
So glad we pushed ourselves on Sunday to get here because the wind has been outrageous. Yesterday it was gusting to 30k but today it has been sustained 25-30k until sundown! Lots of boats came in yesterday...some already for the boat show...have picked out their town mooring for 2 weeks. Yesterday we stayed on the boat to rest-Jane had a relapse of her cold and needed more sleep. Today we both rallied and went into the city dock to do laundry and get on land again. Pretzel loved it.....sniffing & otherwise everyplace she could. In the afternoon we took a dingy ride up Spa Creek under the draw bridge and were absolutely amazed at the number of boats, private docks, town moorings, and boats anchored there. It was chock-a-block full. We saw a boat Peter met in Northeast Harbor, ME and another boat fueling in Cape May who live in Key West winters and work at West Marine. It was really an eye opener to us since we have only seen Annapolis by car. Hopefully tomorrow we can take a dingy tour of Back Creek where our marina will be starting Oct. 1. Apparently they block off the two rows of town moorings for the boat show to build out their docks. I assume it will start sometime this weekend or Monday.

Arriving in Annapolis at 1 hour before sunset. Peter decided to relax, finally with a scotch on the rocks.
