On the Navy Ball in Weems Creek...notice the lack of wind?

The Breeze Booster

I think we got more from Annapolis than we expected.  We have been here for 9 days!  Granted we were waiting for our 'Breeze Booster' which we got yesterday and is seems to help (when there is a breeze that is).  We finished our tasks....getting the flat tires and bent wheel on the bikes fixed, getting a bolt for our wobbly dining table (1st Home Depot since April!), with all the fabulous shopping here my head was spinning.  I did manage to get a pair of walking shoes at Marshall's....my knees have not been thanking me for all of the walking in flip flops and we walked like dazed podunks through the Annapolis Mall with every store under the sun and did not find one thing.  It is interesting what does not interest you anymore when you have gone without for a length of time.

The one problem we have had here is groceries. Not the easiest provisioning in that area although our frig is so small and holds so little that we really can't stock up on anything that needs to be refrigerated.  That tends to be a problem in the Chesapeake as most grocery stores are a hike from the water.  Just another of the little lessons of cruising.

Other than being hot and cranky...all is well.  We are dropping the ball today and going to Rock Hall where we have reserved a slip for 2 nights.  When we started this trip we figured we would have to get a slip in a marina every 2 weeks and it has been more like 6-8 weeks and one thing you don't get for  Free is electricity.  Our batteries are showing their lack of energy (we have to run the generator more to keep them charged) so we are going to go in and give them a good charge and get a couple of good nights sleep with air conditioning!!!  ...It is supposed to be 98 today and 100 tomorrow....  we will have a pool and air conditioning....Nirvana!
