Hangin At The Yacht Club

Not our usual, but it was fun.

We were walking distance from everything Annapolis.

Today's Run

Not a long run... not a fun run... but not bad at all.
Not much net so we're short on content.

This area is a bit strange, a huge ship just passed by. Maybe 50' from our beam where we're tied up at a little marina in Chesapeake City.
Schaefer's Canal House Marina...
They're just restarting an old marina and working really hard to make it go. Nice folks.



Cheers,

Ego Alley

On a beautiful Sunday afternoon... doesn't that look fun?

"Ego Alley" in Annapolis is a small, narrow waterway that leads to the heart of the city.  It got it's name from the endless parade of boats and yachts that traverse this dead end canal, usually only to see and be seen.

Today's Pics

Been quite busy for a couple of transients. We've ran into folks we have seen in a while, met new friends, and made the best out of our 5 days in Annapolis.

Saturday night with Josh, our Compass Cay buddy, and dinner last night again with Pete.
We've really been having a blast here, but it's time to go.

Got a couple of good pics of the boys and a really nice one of Mel and Mud in there natural position.

Radar's hair still hasn't grown back... looks like a receding hairline... kinda like mine.

The end of Plebe summer.

The US Naval Academy is a beautiful place

Getting to know Annapolis

Last night was entertaining...

Searching for knowledge and experience about the Cape May canal and further north, we made contact with Bill, the owner of 'Jenny' a 46 Nordhavn, who lives just across Spa Creek.
We met up at the Boat Yard Bar and Grill, which is a local favorite watering hole that caters to the boating community here in Annapolis.
After a beer we decided to have dinner at the Eastport Yacht Club.

A great view of the Bay Bridge and the Severn River.
We had a nice time and Bill and Ann were kind enough to offer many suggestions and tips on heading north. Very nice folks.

We're really liking Annapolis a lot, we could spend a month here. There's so much maritime history.
Who knows... we may... or not.

Cheers,

Annapolis

So today we wandered through the Naval Academy. What beautiful place.

Sloppy day on the Bay

Walkin' in Annapolis

I did get a few pics with my phone.

One of the first things we did after tying up was walk downtown and look for a restaurant. We really want some crabs, but they continue to be eluding us.

Next to "Ego Alley" is this bronze statue of Alex Haley... remember "Roots".
When we saw this, at the same time, Mel and I both said, "That's Tucker."
For the folks who don't know, Tucker Rolle is the fellow who owns and operates Compass Cay, Exumas.
For those who do know him... doesn't it?

We didn't eat here, but the colors and light blended nicely.

The skies are clearing a bit so, maybe, later today we can take some good shots. There are many things to photograph here.
