Annapolis

A long day with no wind and an easy departure from Reedville.

In the channel, two MSC ships (a convoy) were behind me, and they made a slight turn to starboard, passed me, and then 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 open 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 30 feet of water near the shallows.  The forecast was for very light winds.  I watched their huge Wednesday night race, or rather, their attempt at a race.  

Thursday, I toured the town, visiting Bacon Marina and 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 at McDonald's.  I walked 19 miles.  It was easy.  I inspected the anode on the Yanmar side 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.

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