We are in the Chesapeake Bay now, anchored in Back Creek which is just outside Annapolis. If you look below, we're anchored in the spot in the middle of the red circle.
We had some WONDERFUL times here - lovely dinner on Friday night with our friends Tom and Ronnie at their lakefront house with stunning views, at Fox Creek, also known as Old Place Creek. Great fun - eating, laughing and drinking until about 12.30 in the morning - liberal amounts of Ouzo, wine, beer, Bailey's, Metaxa and of course Rum were imbibed by all.....
We also had a lovely dinner last night at Tom and Shirley's house, just off Chase Creek - also another night of great company, good conversation, and wonderful food and wine. (sorry, forgot my camera, so no photos unfortunately).
We plan to leave tomorrow or Tuesday, heading for Fort Lauderdale. We think it will take about a month, depending on whether we stick to the IntraCoastal or if we jump outside and do any off shore sailing. Our first stop is Norfolk, Virginia, which is about 3 days from here, sailing only during the day and anchoring at night.
Weather has ranged from freezing cold (icy!), raining, windy up to 40 miles an hour, to sunny, dry and warm (today). Cold fronts are starting to move through regularly so it's definitely time to head south. Brrr. Had enough of these long, icy, snowy winters when I was went to Cornell University in upstate New York - not to mention living in Manhattan for 6 years.... not for me any more.
