Cape May to Annapolis, Very Civilized @ AYC




This was another one of the up at 0600 and underway at 0645 days. By now Larry and John must be tired of this. We were onto Delaware Bay, through the Cape May canal by 0700. The trip up the Bay was actually rougher than our Atlantic Ocean trip of yesterday. We made the C&D canal by about 1045 and were down the Bay to Annapolis by 1:30pm. We were met at the guest dock of the Annapolis Yacht Club by Mike Murphy and Bob Borg. When we got the boat settled down, and checking into the Club, we had a great lunch and said goodbye to Larry & John. We had hoped that they would return to the Club for dinner, but I think that the many days of up early and going late took their toll and they decided to stay at their hotel and make an early evening of it.

Mike was off to have dinner with his daughter and son in law, so Bob & I walked to town and had two oyster shooters before returning to the Club for dinner.

Tomorrow I will pick up the dink, and I am looking forward to seeing my Nephew, his wife and their new baby. They will be joining us for lunch, as they have a 90 minute drive from their home in Virginia. I will re-provision the boat and be ready to shove off for parts South on Sunday Morning.

As the change of watch occurred. I want to thank John & Larry for all their hard work over the last 2 weeks, and welcome Mike & Bob aboard.

More later,

Ross
now with Mike & Bob.
