It seems amazing how fast the last six months in Annapolis has past by. I have always enjoyed visiting Annapolis and had looked forward to someday spending more time on the boat here, but finding an available slip in Annapolis for several months is not easy. I was really fortunate this Summer to be in the right place at the right time to snag a slip from someone who had just sold their boat. The slip was much larger than I needed but allowed plenty of space to tie up my dinghy along side. Each day I would look forward to a late afternoon swim in the marina’s large pool before dinner. The marina was only a mile away from downtown Annapolis, an easy walk or dinghy ride to the town square. Annapolis is also only an hour drive from DC, my son’s family in Arlington and numerous friends that live in the area. This made it easy to visit them and for them to visit me. My Grandson James and Granddaughter Julia have been over several times and have enjoyed swimming in the pool along with my son and Daughter-in-law. My brother-in-law, Hank Sloan also came by and spent a very enjoyable weekend with me on the boat. Hank and I are now hatching plans to spend more time together this Winter. John and Linda Kelleher have stopped by a couple of times for Lunch and a sail. And both my Brother Lynn and good friend Cody have also visited the boat while I was here.
John and Linda Kelleher stopped by today for a delightful lunch of crabs and craft beer at Cantler’s Riverside Inn and marina
