We awoke in the delightful Bohemia River anchorage at the north end of the Chesapeake surrounded by thick fog. So we relaxed for a few hours and started for Annapolis about 10:30am when the fog cleared. Our new friend, Andy Allen, on SeaDee was anchored close by and led the way out of the anchorage. By 3:30pm we were hanging on a mooring in downtown Annapolis.
Friday October 19 through Sunday October 21
Annapolis has been wonderful! After bouncing around in the outside mooring area near the Naval Academy the first night we moved to the inner harbor up Spa Creek and it was so peaceful we decided to stay another three nights!
We love Annapolis-- they've done a nice job of providing for the transient boater with dinghy docks at the foot of almost every street and moorings only $25/night. We've enjoyed taking long walks through the colonial streets and sampling the many restaurants. The first night we had great crab cakes and ribs at Buddy's (it was so good we went back for lunch on Sunday!) The second day lunch was at Pusser's-- the same restaurant we enjoyed when we chartered in the Virgin Islands. The Painkillers (made from pineapple and orange juice with Pusser's British Navy Rum) were as good as they were in Tortola! 
St. Mary's church is a short walk from the dinghy dock closest to our mooring (we took this picture from our dinghy). It is a beautiful structure with rolling lawns down to the harbor built on the property of Charles Carroll, the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence. We'll definitely plan to stay several days in Annapolis when we pass again next Spring!
