not a lot to report today.
we woke this morning in our beautiful boat in a beautiful little cove. there were a few things we could do in annapolis so we were thinking that was a possibility, but when we discovered our holding tank (where all the poop goes while near land) was most likely full, going to annapolis became a sure thing.
so we up anchored. this morning reveiled the muckiest anchor chain yet! the gooey stuff just stuck to the chain like thick tar. i ended up actually diving into the water to brush the mud off the chain at the waterline, while pam winched it in from above. typically i hoist a sea bucket on a rope up to the deck to wash the chain, but today it would have taken dozens of buckets, and i'd rather have the lower impact workout of swimming rather than the "gold's gym" upper body calisthenics.
the sail today was nice, with some motoring necessary late in the afternoon. some decent winds in the morning, but nothing like the blow we got yesterday. a nice break from all the excitement.
we spent a lovely evening walking the town, eating out and sitting with alex haley at the end of the city docks.
looking forward to waking with the navy!
good night.
