Annapolis to Rock Hall

In the morning we left the mooring and went to "Ego Alley" to the town docks to fill up with water. You really are on display here as it is right in the heart of downtown with lots of people sight seeing, tour groups, jogging enthusiasts and families with little children feeding all the ducks. 

Yard Patrol Boat

Out of the harbour, past the naval academy, heading north underneath the Bay Bridge and across the bay to the small town of Rock Hall. This at one time was very important in the commercial fishing scene but now is more into recreational boating, although there still is some crabbing and oystering being carried on by the locals. We were able to tie up to the town dock for the night. Plenty of room as we were the only two boats!!The 2 bikes and the motorbike came off Drift Away and Jim, Debbie and Bill all rode into town to provision. On the way to Rock Hall a boat had heard us talking and said that " he had had the best crab ever at the local restaurant" so we decided to go for dinner that night. Three of us had the soft shell crab, it was ok, Jim said that it could have been crispier! Maybe the boater was an employee of the restaurant?!?!? 

The problem with the town dock was any southern wind and the swell would rock and roll the boats. The Admiral got the Captain up at 1:00 am to retie and reposition the fenders as she was not happy!!! It calmed down a bit later too so happiness was restored.
