We woke up to overcast skies. We had arranged with Lynn and Sally to weigh anchor between 0900 and 0930 to sail to Annapolis. The wind was as predicted - none or very little, less than 5 knots so we had to motor sail. As we got closer to Annapolis the skies began to clear and the sun came out.

I thought the helmsperson was supposed to watch what was going on in front of the boat!

 

 

We arrived in Spa Creek and set anchor around 1430. On our way down the creek, we noticed Kind of Magic (from our home port of HYC) had taken a mooring ball in the same area.

The bridge into Spa Creek, opens on the hour and half hour to allow boats to pass.

Jorge and I dinghied into Annapolis, about a 5 minute ride. On the way in, we met a fellow boater from Windsor and got the general direction on where to go for showers and laundry. We tied up at the dinghy dock, followed the directions given to us and found them with ease. $1 for a shower with Starbucks right across the road. Jorge thought he died and went to heaven! Instead of the coffee (we'll save that for tomorrow) we had a beer and appetizers at a local restaurant patio then off to the liquor store to check it out.

We arrived back at the boat for dinner. It was hard to believe we were only 5 minutes from the docks and marinas of downtown Annapolis and it was so quiet! The creek was like a millpond with gorgeous homes along the creek and million dollar boats in the marinas.
