We had a sail delivery to make at North Sails, which seemed the perfect opportunity to kayak in Annapolis. We put in McNasby's/Annapolis Maritime Museum and paddled around to Spa Creek. We could have paddled up Back Creek - we were right there - but, being away from our lake-like home waters, we wanted some wave action. Once in Spa Creek, we paddled up Market Slip and then back to the beach at Annapolis Maritime Museum. We topped off an already fine day with a visit to Davis' Pub for crab pretzels and beer. Kudos to Davis' for their new outdoor, very well-spaced seating area, as well as to our waitress who, despite being chilly visiting us outside, was wonderfully friendly and attentive.

'Til 2021
Dobbs and I invited Bev and Brad, our neighbors from across the street, to join us for an afternoon sail. There was just enough wind (east at 5-10 knots) to keep it interesting as we sailed north, rounded Red 16 (which may now be Red 14...channel re-numbering...), and wafted south past Charlestown.
Bev and Brad were great company and we all had fun talking while working the boat together. We returned to the dock at 4pm, bid our friends adieu, and began breaking Grace down for haul-out. We pulled off the headsail and put Coquille on the dinghy rack.

Sailing Down Eastern Bay
From San Domingo Creek, my husband Dobbs and I, aboard our Columbia 31, explored our way down the Bay for the next 33 days. We visited several small isolated communities of working watermen. It was a dream fulfilled for us; in fact, even more than we'd hoped for. Read about Hoopers Island, Chance, Deal Island, Crisfield, Janes Island, Smith Island, Onancock, and Gwynn's Island on our blog, Sailing Gracefully.
