Annapolis

A long day, no winds and easy departure from Reedville.

In the channel, two MSC ships (a convoy) were behind me and they made a slight turn starboard, passed me and turned back into the channel.  A large wave hit me.

I motored into Annapolis and picked an anchorage before the Easton Bridge.  I was just after 5 and the bridge did not like opening during rush hour. 

The general depth of the anchorage was 30 feet, and I roamed around to find some shallow water. I came in close to shore, and it became shallower very fast. I ended up anchoring in the 30 feet near the shallows. The forecast was for very light winds. I watched their very large Wednesday night race or attempted race.  

Thursday I toured the town, visiting Bacon Marina, Bay Marine to pick up my Yanmar anodes and seal. Bacon was a store with a large consignment section. 

I took the Brown bus to Bay Marina to pick up the Yanmar parts that I had ordered. The service was excellent.

Next, I walked to Facett and then had a bite and McDonald's.  I walked 19 miles.  It was easy.  I inspected the anode on the side of the Yanmar and replaced it.  I will check the aft anode later.  I checked it in Middle River and it was fine.  Just some surface corrosion.

Friday I visited the Spring Boar show.  The show was much smaller than the October show.  I did three seminars and visited booths and boats.

Winds started to pick up and I decided to return to the boat.  I let out some more scope.
