Ever since planning this trip we hoped to be in Annapolis for the annual boat show - one of the reportedly best in North America.
Instead of going to the Magothy River today, we decided to go with the beautiful weather and just keep on heading to Annapolis. The harbour was jammed with everything from tall ships to ocean ships to tiny sailing boats.
We saw some moorings and went by a boat to ask about it. Turns out there were TWO moorings left - we took one and the other was gone in 10 minutes.
We lucked out big time. The Harbourmaster said we should light a flare to the sea gods on St. Mary street it was that lucky.
For $30 a night, we hang off a mooring ball (an designated anchored buoy) and the price includes showers, washrooms, etc.
We took a walk around the historic downtown, saw two weddings in progress and a number of young cadets from the naval academy here.
It is lovely beyond imagination. Boats flit in and around us on the mooring, music carries over the water to me as I sit and watch the sunset and the lights go on.
We plan to do a lot of shopping for the boat here and some repairs.
This is really our first big highlight - although Baltimore was pretty terrific as well.
More pics later (had to charge the camera battery).

We're in Saint Michaels today for Canadian Thanksgiving. Trying to get it together to head into this very lovely spot for a visit to United Methodist Church for our Thanksgiving service and then we're going to hit the supermarket for some turkey and fixings for a dinner tonight. Hopefully we'll have a chance to skype the family.
We have so much to be thankful for.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving! The trees are shouting out their colours - we are so happy to be here in the fall. We so missed the colours while living in Europe. I'm sitting in Shauni's kitchen - finally figured out how to respond to you on the blog. Turkey, cheesecake and pumpking pie - yeah!! Missing you here. Safe sailing. I'll write more when I'm home again. Sarah
