This morning was perfect for cruising. It was 79 degrees at 8 am and winds were 3 knots, gusting 8 knots. We left Anchorage Marina in Baltimore at 9:30 am and headed to the Baltimore Inner Harbor. What a busy place!! Big boats, huge boats, small boats, sail boats, and boats with four 500 hp outboards that rocked us mercilessly as they blew past us. We saw the Domino Sugar factory with very large tongs/scoops taking the sugar from the ships to be processed. We also saw USS Torsk, a submarine in the inner harbor, along with the USCG lightship Chesapeake. We passed under the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, and as we were coming up to it, we passed a very large Merchant Marine ship. Such a sight to see!
On the way to Annapolis, I noticed water on our bedroom floor. Richard checked it out and the AC drain was leaking. After we docked, Richard took the water filter out and it was clogged, so he cleaned it out and got it working properly. He crawled up under the bed in the V-berth and cleaned the filter in that AC unit as well.
We docked at 2 pm at Annapolis City Marina after travelling 30 miles. We fixed dinner on the boat, and after dinner, we walked around the marina and into town. There is so much to do and see here that we're going to stay another day. We listened to a few young musicians playing jazz, and I took Richard's picture with a sculpture commemorating Alex Haley sharing heritage stories to young children.
