Annapolis...sailing central

Annapolis street scene

St. Petersburg has about 3,000 sailboats.  Annapolis has 30,000.  Pete and I were astonished at how many boats were here.  The crowds of tourists, and the opulence of "Ego Alley" where boats are paraded and shown off was quite a shock after the backwaters of North Carolina and Virginia.  But....we adjusted after a few minutes and did what all sailing-afflicted neurotics do....we looked at boats until our eyes hurt.  We had a wet 4 mile dinghy ride in from the anchorage, but what fun, and dinner at a street cafe wasn't bad either.  Later, we returned for crab lunch at Buddy's.  We love this town.  For sailing afflicted it is like Christmas morning every day.
