July 5, 2021 - July 19, 2021
We’ve had lots going on in the last two weeks besides usual boat tasks. The weather has been mostly hot and humid with a few low humidity, breezy days thrown in. We’ve been having issues with our air-conditioning that have not been solved by the two fixes we have tried. The air-conditioner still works but occasionally gives a false high pressure warning and the thermostat goes whacky. We have a request for service in with Cruise Air (where we bought the unit) and are hoping the air conditioner works till we can get it fixed.
One of our tires on the Prius had a leak which was caused by a nail in the side. We made it to the Toyota dealer and had all four tires replaced. While waiting for the tires to be mounted, etc. we walked to a nearby restaurant, Paul’s Homewood Cafe which has been in business for year’s in Annapolis. We’ve frequently talked about going there but this was our first visit. The food was fantastic and we added it to our favorites list right away. Yum!
Another great restaurant we have discovered is in Kent Narrows. The seafood is fresh and well prepared and the tables are outside in a large pavilion with views of the water.

We finished our bulkhead painting project and put everything back in place. The stress of having the main salon in such a mess during the project was well worth it.

I was finally able to meet my Baltimore friends for lunch on Tuesday. I hadn’t seen them for over 10 months and we had lots of experiences to share with each other. That day (7/13 ) was also my daughter, Rachel’s, due date, but nothing was happening. However, the next morning I woke up to a text from the baby’s father, Juan, that they were at the hospital and things were moving along. By 8:00 am I had a granddaughter, Claire, weighing 6 lbs. 2 oz. Rachel and Claire were both doing well.

I finished some sewing projects, did laundry, cleaned the boat and packed up my suitcase in preparation for my trip to Oak Park to meet my new granddaughter. I will leave bright and early on Tuesday, July 20th for a week long stay.
