A pretty uneventful day. I'm not complaining. We left Solomon early, knowing it was a long haul to Annapolis.

Solomon anchorage and mooring field

Last fall we got that white dot of a mooring. This year we just anchored at the edge of the mooring field. I totally did not recognize from last fall to this spring until David told me we were in the same place. Oh well.

So, left early. Easy, easy beginning with very few lumps and even those diminished as the day went on. The only trauma was bringing the sail back in. We had to let it flog to take the pressure off it so David could haul the line in. The flogging, the whap, whap, whap freaked Amelia and she took off for the bed covers. Didn't see her again until we went to wake her just before we turned into the Annapolis Harbor turn. She just really hates loud noises, especially unknown and unexpected ones. She mostly stayed under-cover today, after the flogging noise.

Arrived into Annapolis Harbor and mooring field around 3:00 PM. Gathered our laundry and bath soap and off we went to the Harbor Master's hut. "So sorry to be so late." and I paid for our mooring. Then, off to the laundry room, laundry washed and dried and folded! Ta Da!!!!!

We were scheduled to dine with Lynda and Jeff but no good. They were too busy at the end of this day. So we came home, chatted about the day and about out trip, in specifics and general. David cooked dinner and I'm ready to hit the water bed. Hoping to get to Chesapeake City tomorrow.
