Annapolis

I was expecting a lot going to Annapolis, it is the sailing capitol of the USA. As I started getting closer and closer to Annapolis I could just start making out a giant see of boats. When I neared the mouth of the Severn river, where Annapolis is, it really was a sea of boats, well river of boats. There were more boats then I had ever seen before. I wasn't sure how i was going to even get through. Just then I pack of fighter jets flew overhead in formation. It was the Blue Angels and I was just in time to sea the air show. Turns out it was the Navy Academy graduation week and they have this air show every year. After the show there was a madness like I've never seen. Pleasure boaters taking off in every direction fueled by air show adrenaline and beer. It was pretty exciting trying to sail through the ever confusing waves.
I was also concerned that there wasn't going to be any place in the harbor to anchor...and there wasn't. I got the last mooring buoy left. As luck would have it that buoy is right next to the finish line of the Wednesday night sailboat races. Around 7 O'clock all the boats started to cross the line. It was one of the most exciting things Ive seen. Those racing boats are fast Real real fast. And they were maneuvering the boats through the tightly packed mooring field.
Annapolis was fun while it lasted. Its really cool and old town that has undeniable energy to it. I had a chance to do all the tourist things like eat at this place called Chick and Ruth's Delly, and take a stroll down the infamous "Ego Alley." My only complaint was all the seamen from the Naval Academy.
Oh yeah, the Zodiac has developed a problem. It seems as though the bottom is coming unglued from the flotation tubes. This is very bad. I called a place that was right in Annapolis that does rubber dingy repair. They quoted me for like $800 to fix it...that's more than it costs new. So I used some Gorilla glue tape to fix it up. I hope it holds. This boat is the only way I can get to shore.
