On The Road Again

To All of Our Loyal Followers - Sorry that it has been so long since our last update! We stayed in Annapolis for 12 days - a week on the mooring ball on Spa Creek; then at a slip in Shearwater Marina; a lovely spot that new friends graciously invited us to. There were too many fun times to describe in great detail; especially in retrospect! But I will mention the highlights! Visits from relatives; cousin Larry from D.C., Uncle Sumner & Aunt Judy from Silver Springs, MD,and friends Roy & Yasmin and Bob & Brenda from Katlynn Marina in Sodus Point NY. The Boat Show activities were so much fun. We were invited to a pre-show get together hosted by Ed and Robin from Gratitude Yachting in Rock Hall, MD. It was great to meet The Johnson Family, the founders and designers of Island Packets. We got alot of exercise - we walked 7 miles two days in a row to have some rigging done. Plus many miles for grocery shopping, laundry, and of course Rum! The weather has been better than wonderful. We have been so lucky.
We left Annapolis on October 13th at 0700 with our friends Debbie & Craig - "Charmed" for a three day cruising trip heading south. The first stop was St. Michaels, MD on the eastern shore - anchored in an incredible spot after a perfect sail. Walked into town, window shopped, had ice cream, and then had a fabulous dinner on "Charmed". After an episode of Gilligan's Island (really!), we called it a night and went to bed, so that we could get an early start for the Honga River.
