This morning we took a tour of the US Naval Academy. Yes, their mascot is the goat, but that’s a long story. There are 4500 Middies and a gorgeous campus. We toured some of the academic buildings, the chapel with…
Annapolis. One if By Land, Two if……Oh Forget It!
Today we headed to Annapolis, sort of as originally planned. The only problem is the forecast is calling for no winds today and tomorrow and at least 4 days of rain with strong winds building over this week. So Annapolis…

Our Marina about 17 nautical miles south of Annapolis is by far the nicest we have ever seen. It has a 2 mile nature walk around the perimeter of the basin with lots of signage about the local flora and…
