An old building in Eastport had this very cool mural painted on it's wall. Flaking off, but still nice.
A very bizarre encounter ensued as I used my phone to collect this visual... very bizarre, yet comical.
Had something to do with tourists, taxes, and politics. I didn't quite catch the whole rant, we ignored the fellows.

The malcontents caught up with us later down the street at the restaurant and... while one was trying to sell his boat broker services to me, the other was in Mel's and Josh's faces continuing his rant about politics and taxes. We had just finished our food and drinks so we, once again, ignored them and walked away.
People can be so strange sometimes... so angry with completely harmless strangers.

Never the less, we're still diggin' Annapolis.

Boats On The Bay

The Chesapeake Bay has many fine boats floating around. We've passed by and shared marinas with some great vessels.

For You Elvis Fans

Old and new...

Enjoy.

The Bay Bridge

In Review: The Sassafras River

The day we decided to abort our plan to cruise New England, we quickly went to work on a Plan B.

Plan B started out by exploring the Sassafras River. We'd read it was a very pretty, serene little river and it turned out to be so.

Reminded us of the Tennessee River in many ways, just a little more quiet.

Especially this boat... looks like a hell-of-a business opportunity for someone at Pickwick Lake.

'Smoke On The Water' 

would motor out and drop a hook, attract the locals by filling the air with BBQ smoke, then sell to the weekenders.
Nice boat... good idea.

When we eased up the river, the sky was overcast and it's greyness leeched the shores of almost any color. On the way back out to the Chesapeake, the Sassafras gave us a glimpse of a few of it's more vivid sights.

Though there were many boats taking advantage of the pretty anchorages on the river... this one little red sailboat caught my eye. All alone in a quiet cove on a calm morning.
More zen stuff.

And those appropriately eye-catching homes I posted about a few days ago?

Just a couple of little places we admired as we were heading out to the Bay.

Looks old... bet it is.

Not New England, but not bad... but not New England... not this year anyway.

The Sassafras was a nice, relaxing place to visit, we'll do it again.

Cheers,

Leaving Georgetown Yacht Basin's yard.
Lot's of sailboats, especially Catamarans, come here for extensive work. 

Return to Annapolis

Chesapeake Harbor Marina... Kinda like the Bluffs in Jupiter. We're surrounded by 3 story condo buildings. Lot's of interesting boats here and we're told the restaurant is good.

Bout to go find out.

Cheers,
