June 27...Annapolis

After wasting the allotted time in the morning we dinghied to Ego Alley and tied up in down town of Annapolis. Our first stop was Fawcetts, a boating store, where we picked up a few things and looked at Caribe dinghies. They were having a dinghy sale and we probably would have purchased one but the only one they had in stock that we wanted, a 10 foot DX, had just been sold to another person. So we gave up again on dinghies. Talking about the dinghy situation last night, we decided that if we could keep it afloat during the month of July and September it would be boat show time where we could save some money. In the meantime there are two or three more places around Annapolis that we can look for a used one.

Although it was too hot to walk, we hiked up some narrow streets to State Circle and then back down to water front. On the way down we stopped for some air-conditioning and had a snack before completing our shopping. One of goals for the day was a tour of the Naval Academy but when we got there Debbie didn't have any ID. It was pretty hot for an hour and a half walking tour anyway.
