We had another lazy morning. The weather was too hot to even sit in the cockpit and enjoy the morning coffee/tea! We stayed inside the boat for most of the morning, Jorge on the internet and me reading a magazine.

There is a public dock a short distance away which allows boaters to fill their water jugs so that was Jorge's boat job today. On the way back, he stopped at a catamaran (owners we had previously met) and arranged to visit tomorrow. They had offered to show us what they use for Bahama charts having been there previously. One can never get too much information!

After lunch we went into town. Today we just went to the dinghy dock beside the boat (maybe a dozen strokes away with the oars). There was a small park and some ladies were partaking in a painting class. We walked to West Street (one of Annapolis' main streets), wandered through a couple of small galleries and then decided to enjoy a beer on an outside patio.

We continued our walk downtown and visited three very narrow streets in historic Annapolis. The houses on these streets homed the blue collar workers of old. We stopped in at a few shops along the way but only bought something at the wine store. Does that surprise anyone?

Our favourite shop.

We enjoyed a lunch here last year with Hans and Joan.

We took the trolley back up West Street to the side street leading to our dinghy dock. On the way back to CS'ta Time we toured around the end of Spa Creek and checked out what was behind us, having only ever gone in the other direction.

The evening was warm and quiet. We better enjoy it, apparently cooler weather, high winds and rain are coming on Monday, the outer limits of Hurricane Karen in the Gulf Coast we think.
