We are finally in Annapolis, moored right in front of the Naval Academy Visitor Center. We spent our first day just walking around and getting our bearings. Jim's grandmother was born here at 57 Cornhill St., just yards from State Circle and the State Capitol (which from 1783-1784 was the capitol of the new United States). Her father had put the first tin roof on the capitol building, but not sure what date. We had looked up his name on google but didn't find anything, but we did find out that League and Snowden are last names still found in this area. Tomorrow we will go visit the capitol building for their tour and see if we can find the desk their family had donated. I also plan to go to the Waterway Guide offices and to Sailrite store. I didn't bring mine along on this part of our trip. It certainly would have been useful. We had to restitch our UV cover on our foresail. So we just took it down and had it stitched at a canvas shop

Today we took the trolley tour and found out a few more facts about the area. I had read "Chesapeake" and Jim is about half way through it. It really did help us in understanding the history here. (Although we wish it were about 10 degrees lower in temperature).
