It's Sunday, October 14th (niece Tami's Birthday) and Bill and I have decided it's time to leave Annapolis. I have mixed feelings since it has been a wonderful experience living onboard, yet having the freedom to go places around and out of the city and meet lots of different people without feeling tied to the boat. I love the feel of Annapolis as well as the design. The architecture, the flowers, the streets that remain fixed in the 1700's, the Naval Academy, the boat shows, the tourists, the dogs, the southern twang that shows up everywhere all contribute to a vibrant city. Of course, after the Power Boat Show I was told things really quiet down and I'm sure the feel of Annapolis will also change.
I've put together some photos that I will post on a web page (like Shutterfly) as a memory for me and may be of some interest to you.
To bed early for a 6:30 am wake up call to make the 7 am bridge out of Spa Creek. It's barely light but the sky lightens quickly as we leave and we have no difficulty seeing the marks. The day turns out to be perfect for traveling, seas bearable, temperature within our sunroom just fine and after 7 hours we drop anchor at Solomon's Island. Tired but happy to have finally begun to move again towards the ICW.
I have included a photo of 'Interim' for those who have no idea what kind of boat is now called home.
