We were very excited to be moving on to Annapolis, MD. All day the sky was threatening rain but we
were fortunate and made our way into the Bay with just a slight drizzle. Our first impression was amazement at the concentration
of boats – everywhere! We picked our way
through the mooring field and slowly advanced to “Ego Alley”, right downtown at
the Annapolis City Dock. From here we
had a bird’s eye view of the historic downtown, bustling with tourists
strolling along the cobblestone streets on a hot, humid Saturday.
My sister Janice, her husband Dan and sons Joseph and Sean
were able to visit. They didn’t have too
far to travel since their home for the last 30 years has been in Herndon,
Virginia. We caught up over lunch at the
next door dockside restaurant. It was
great seeing them again and a bit surreal visiting by boat!
We would have loved to stay one more day but the weather
forecast dictated our travel plans and we decided to make our way up Chesapeake
Bay to Delaware City.
