We left Bodkin Creek and went over to Annapolis on 4/25, then spent the afternoon washing and organizing the boat. On Saturday, 4/26, Chuck Wistar from Selene Annapolis showed the boat to two couples, but it is not clear what will happen next, if anything.
Meanwhile we are going ahead with our plans for a few weeks of cruising. Arrangements so far, weather dependent, include:
* Leave Pleasure Cove Marina 5/6
* Stay at the Capital Yacht Club in downtown DC from 5/10 to 5/18. During that time we will rent a car for a day in order to visit Monticello.
* Visit various anchorages along the Potomac on the way down river.
* Arrive at Crisfield on the lower eastern shore for Memorial Day weekend. The 21st annual soft shell crab festival is 5/25, Sunday of Memorial Day weekend. We will also plan day trips to Smith and Tangier islands, and try to use the kayaks on the water trails of Janes Island.
* Travel back up the bay to the Chester River and Chestertown, where we hope Skip and Linda Shipman can join us on their J-42 sailboat.
Of course all these plans are fluid and dependent on weather, unexpected events, and whether we find a buyer for the boat.
