Tilghman Island to Annapolis City Marina, Annapolis, MD (docked)
July 21 and 22, 2022
(We haven’t posted for a long time because we have had a lot going on)
We had a short hop to Annapolis from Tilghman Island – pretty much just across the bay.
We took advantage of the wind and got both of our sails up for a bit. We slowed down but since we didn’t have far to go, this was not a problem. The quiet when the motor is off is wonderful.
I think that when we slow down we also have more of an opportunity to interact with nature. I had a Snow White moment when this dragonfly landed on my outstretched hand and hung out for a couple of minutes.
Boat traffic built up as we got closer to Annapolis, with all kinds of boats heading in and out of the harbor, including a boat from the Naval Academy. We had to weave around a lot of folks who were on small sunfish-type sailboats.
We docked in time to beat the afternoon showers that look like they’re coming our way. Thunder was rumbling and the clouds were moving in but it was time for us to get off the boat for a bit and walk around. Annapolis is a very walkable place with lots to see.
There’s a brewery within walking distance of the marina; we haven’t been to one togther since we were in Florida.
After dinner at the brewery we walked through town. There is a memorial to Kunta Kinte and his descendent, Alex Haley at the head of the City Dock. This is where Kunta Kinte landed when he was sold into slavery – the statue pays tribute to Alex Haley telling his ancestors’ stories to the next generations.
We plan to stay in Annapolis for another day before we head to a marina that is closer to BWI airport where I will fly out on Sunday morning.
