We love to visit St. Michaels by boat. We anchored close to town this time, since it was early in the season and not many boats were anchored out. We had a great view of the CBMM. And we were able to meet up with friends Suzanne and Joe, returning from the Bahamas. They were anchored in San Domingo Creek on the backside of St. Michaels.
Yay! I got to be captain of the adorable Miss Anne during the spring sailboat show. We had a different slip, due to the boat show.
Before my first 2025 shift as captain of Miss Anne, I asked to ride along with Capt Phyllis to learn the timing of the narration. Beautiful spring weather!
My husband and I played tourists today on two Watermark vessels. We took a tour on the Harbor Queen, and then rode the Miss Anne with Capt Noel at the helm.
Finally, the weather and our schedules aligned to enjoy our first overnight anchorage. We were the only boat at anchor in the Rhode River. Wow, that's a first.
We chose an almost windless day to put our three sails on Belle Bateau while she was in her slip.
Although I'm already a Watermark captain, I wanted to try driving the water taxis during Prospective Captains Day. It was fun!
We splashed Belle Bateau at Port Annapolis Marina, and within 20 minutes were boarded by the USCG for a surprised safety inspection. We passed! Glad we remembered to bring a few items that we had removed from the boat for the winter. Belle Bateau arrived her slip at SBYC about 80 minutes later.
First Watermark shift of 2025, on Cabaret II. Did four public tours in Annapolis harbor. A bit chilly but sunny.
A bit more chilly than two days ago, but it's another fun day as Captain of the Jolly Express!
