We've been in Annapolis since Oct 3 at the Port Annapolis Marina in Back Creek. It's pretty neat; we dinghy across Back Creek to the public dock at the end of Sixth Street and Walk about 5 blocks to the Bascule Bridge that crosses Spa Creek and we are in Annapolis. We spent two full days at the boat show; climbed on and off so many boats that we can hardly tell one from another any more and attended as many seminars as our old brains would allow. This afternoon we concentrated on the "high end" boats - wow. I think our favourite was the Cabo Rico 54, right down to the hand carved bed posts! The Halberg Rossey and Gozzard came a close second. We actually didn't like the Oyster or Swan even though the Oyster was a boat show bargain at just $950,000. Although our primary purchase was at the boat show was to be a glass bottomed bucket so we could see our anchor - we couldn't find one!! We did buy an auxillary fridge/freezer so we can have ice and frozen veggies instead of canned! Ray collected more free hats, tee shirts and pens than he could carry. Lots of neat stuff, beautiful boats and zillions of people. We stopped at the Pusser's Rum booth on the way home and had a "painkiller" with take home tin cups! We plan to leave Annapolis on Tuesday and head "south".
