he Chesapeake is a beautiful body of water. There are so many harbors, ports and coves - none more ideal than Annapolis. It is easy to enter and navigate and full of Revolutionary War history, the home of the Naval Acadamy and the sailing capital of America as well as the state capital of Maryland.
We enjoyed two nights here, had dinner with Kellie and Nathan and were lucky enough to have arrived on the weekend of the Annapolis Boat Show. That was amazing - boats of every size and shape that we could tour. Vendors set up displaying everything from the most sophisticated electronics to the garage invention to clip lines together. So much information. We got to visit with a couple about our age who just got back from a 7 year circumnavigation aboard a 50 ft. 'Valiant" - amazingly made in Texas.
We left Friday morning with beautiful weather heading south toward Norfolk, VA.
