Aug. 10 & 11 — Lazy days….coming to an end soon!

There is something completely mesmerizing (and perhaps anesthetizing) about anchoring out. Even though there were plenty of other boats in our little cove off the Rhodes River, we still felt like we were completely alone. Left to our own devices, we are pretty good at…..doing absolutely nothing!

Well, that’s not exactly true. We swam. We took rides in the dingy. We cooked dinners. We read. We relaxed — a bunch! We had grilled Italian sausages and pesto one night and hot dogs and French potato salad the next — how international, don’t you think!?

Did I mention cocktails? We are good at that too.

Today we cruised the short distance to Annapolis. Lots of boats of every size and description including huge container ships waiting for their turn in Baltimore Harbor. It must be a long waiting list as we saw the same ships anchored when we crossed the Bay Bridge last Thursday.

Bringing up the anchor….ready to head to Annapolis.
It was a very grey day today. These container ships have been anchored here near the Bay Bridge (which you can barely make out in the distance) since at least last Thursday.
A cool looking fishing charter boat.
Small sailboat with LOTS of sail area. It probably flies — but not today. Hardly any wind.

Gary and Carolyn Kreutz join us tomorrow. We’d hope to find a place to go swimming….but the recent rains causing the release of some garbage into the Chesapeake has made the water a bit iffy. The dockmaster pointed out a creek within dingy distance that might work. I’ll let you know!
