Annapolis was bustling with locals and tourists for our last week at City Dock. The weather was beautiful and spring like except for a mid-week heavy rain storm. Bob had his daily radiation treatments and I was able to walk almost every morning. I enjoy being outside at this time of year watching the flowers bloom and the tree leaves bud out.
Since our vaccines were fully effective on Tuesday I scheduled a hair cut for Wednesday afternoon (first one since October). It’s good to get my hair back in shape.
Both the quilts I shipped out last week arrived at their new homes.

On Friday afternoon we drove our car over to Castle Harbor Marina on Kent Island and a friend from City Dock picked us up at the marina and drove us back to the boat. We stopped into the Pour House Pub for Happy Hour while we waited for our friend to arrive. When he got there he sat down and had a beer, too. We exchanged some interesting stories about cruising life.
On Saturday morning we left City Dock in Annapolis around 9:30. It was a perfect day to be on the water with a light breeze and plenty of sunshine. We motored under the Bay Bridge, across the Bay, rounded Love Point (the northern tip of Kent Island) and continued up the Chester River. We arrived at the entrance to Castle Harbor Marina just before noon. Unfortunately, it was just past low tide and we went aground. A dock hand from the marina came out to try and pull us off the low spot to no avail. We got the boat turned around and headed back out into the river to wait for the tide to come up. At 4:00 pm we tried to enter the marina again. We got to our slip easily without touching bottom once. We got settled in and enjoyed the quiet evening in our new marina. It looks like our summer here will be quiet and laid back.

We slept in on Sunday and walked to the Pour House Pub for hamburgers for lunch. The food was great. It’s nice to have a good restaurant with in walking distance of the boat. We will explore the area more later.
Stay safe and thank you for reading my blog.
