Annapolis to Pleasure Cove Marina, Pasadena, MD (docked)
June 23, 2022
My flight to Austin, TX leaves before 7:00 AM tomorrow, so we want to get as close as we can to BWI. We are heading just a bit north to a marina in Pasadena, MD where my ride will be less than 30 minutes tomorrow morning.
We will be across the bay from Kent Island, which is where we will stay for the month of August. John will take Lailia over to that marina after I leave tomorrow.
To get to this marina we had to motor under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge; fhere are two separate spans here with a single name. These spans are over four miles long and really high – we did not have to wait for them to open!
It’s a really warm and muggy day and we have been visited by another cool looking insect. My friend Samantha is a beekeeper and has identified this as a robber fly which eats other insects (unfortunately it eats bees as well as the bugs we don’t like).
Tonight John decided to revisit the idea that our autopilot issues might be due to a bad fuse. Although he had done a visual check of the fuses in the past tonight he checked them with an ohmmeter and found that a 3 amp fuse had blown. The filament is so tiny it was difficult to see the break. The good news is that we have fuses onboard and he was able to replace it. The autopilot will still need calibration – but it works!
The shuttle will be picking me up at 5:15 tomorrow morning and John will be single-handing Lailia later tomorrow.

Nice to hear you’re both doing well. Safe travels to Austin.
