It was supposed to be 7 days starting with Memorial Day weekend but life got in the way. Still, six days is great! We started by meeting sailing friends Bert and Prue on neighboring mooring balls in Annapolis. Night 2 found us on the hook in our favorite anchorage off the Magothy in Broad Creek, where we cooled off in the water on our float mats. Day 3 started in low visibility and misty rain as we sailed north to White Rocks. We tied up at Mike's T head, welcomed our Bmore friend Elaine for cocktails on the boat, and then enjoyed steamed crabs at Mike's. Day 4 had strong winds, 9-14, gusting 17 from the NNW, allowing us to sail all the way to Chester River and up to Langford Creek. We anchored in our usual spot near Cacaway Island and enjoyed a peaceful evening. Later that night, we learned friend Joe and Suzanne were anchored 4 miles away in Gray's Inn Creek. So on Day 5, we moved our boat to be near them and enjoyed a bountiful dinner prepared by Suzanne in the cockpit of Patience. On Day 6, sadly, we had to sail (mostly motor) home so we could work the next day (damn that work stuff).
