We left Baltimore Thursday morning 9/5 for a 4 hour ride to Annapolis where we caught a mooring ball right at the mouth of ego alley for the weekend.
Last time we were here we were busy with buying new bikes and didn't get to visit the Naval Academy. This time we didn't miss it! I'm so glad we took the tour. It was really something! It is amazing what these students have to do to qualify for being accepted at the Naval Academy not to mention what they have to go through while there! The campus is absolutely gorgeous, full of history and traditions.

High tide! The dingy dock at the end of ego alley.

Sunday 9/8 we took Roxie in for her morning walk before leaving for Saint Michaels and found a little car show in the middle of town.
After our walk in town we left Annapolis and started on our way to Herrington Harbor North. We stopped to anchor in St. Michaels Sunday afternoon. St. Michaels is a really quaint place; nice and quiet. It is also home of Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.
We left St. Michaels Tuesday 9/10 making our way to Herrington Harbor North where we are scheduled to have Osprey Marine pull the boat out of the water and put her on the hard so that she can have her bottom redone. This consists of having the old bottom paint soda blasted down to the fiberglass, having a new epoxy layer added, then bottom paint. We have a couple of days in the water to prepare for the boat being on the dry for 2 weeks and were going home to Ohio to visit family, friends and complete our annual doctors visits.

We had a great couple of weeks catching up with everyone and getting those annual check-ups completed. We even got to go up to Canada for a couple nights stay at Caesars in Windsor and went to a Ohio State football game in the shoe!
We got back to the boat 9/28 and had just enough daylight to reinstall the bow thruster, new anodes and prep to install the stabilizer fins the next morning before Cheers was placed back into the water.
We have a couple of days in Herrington Harbor Marina to put the boat back together and restock the fridge. Our next stop is the Annual Kadey-Krogen Cruisers Rendezvous at Calvert's Marina in the Solomon Islands.
