Our next stop (May 7-9) was in Annapolis. We’ve heard that this was a “must-stop,” and I understand why. Such a cute place, lots of things to see and do!  It’s the capitol of Maryland and was the first capitol of the USA. 

We stayed at Annapolis City Marina Eastport. We had to walk across the bridge but it wasn’t far and you could get a beautiful picture on the harbor from the bridge. The marina had everything you needed and was close to town. 

We met with Rachel and Malcolm, on Stay Cool, here. We walked around town with them, saw the Naval Academy, The State House (which is the oldest, legislative state house still in use) and ego alley - where the boats come in and turn around, showing off a bit!  We also enjoyed dinner and had the infamous crab cakes!

Our friends, Bob and Mary, on Changing Latitudes were here too.  We saw them later in the day, on our second day; we weren’t able to spend much time with them.

Boomerang - 09/13/2022

      We've finally taken the plunge - that could be a bad play on words.  Let’s say, we’ve finally purchased our looper boat. We've been on a quest to find a boat, for a couple of months now. We've traveled more than 3000 miles in search of the perfect one. We had certain criteria (budget, seaworthy, dinghy, A/C, heat, trailer, electronics, bed, toilet, galley, tall ceiling for Jeff, etc.) and we located one in Webster, New York (near Rochester).  We traveled there twice to get this boat - once by plane and then by truck. It’s a 14 hour drive, but she fit the bill, so we had to go. It’s a Rosborough 246, trailerable, 25 ft., single, outboard engine (Honda 225) small, cabin cruiser.  She’s in great shape, clean and ready to go!  The previous owner took great pride in ownership and we were lucky to find her, just in time! She's a small boat; but it's just a vessel to get us from point A to point B and to have a view of the country from a different persp...

Back on the water!

So after 1.5 years, we have Boomerang back in the water. After finishing the Loop, we built a house and are finally getting to go boating again. Two days ago, we trailered the boat to Gilbertsville, KY and stayed at The Moors Resort for two nights. It was a nice marina and costs $1.50 a foot. They told us they had power and water at the slips - but there was no water and only a 110 outlet, but we made do. And although they said they had bath houses, there were no showers! But what they did have was a very nice delicious, reasonably priced restaurant. We both enjoyed the Mahi Mahi with Mango salsa.  After two days, we cruised to Buzzard Rock Marina in Kuttawa, KY. Its was a peaceful day on the lake, not much traffic. Buzzard Rock Marina has showers! Although our slip didn’t have water or power, we were able to connect to both at a vacant slip close by. We’ve already met Billy, who completed the loop in 2017. He’s invited us to dinner on his boat tonight. He seems very nice! And it’s...

Buzzard Rock to Clarksville, TN

                       Kentucky State Penitentiary                                              A tree in the middle of the water.                     Heading underneath the bridge.                                    Here we go!                                 Passing tugs.                                  Passing barges.            This cloud looked like Sydney’s dog, Cane.                Bumpus Mills - a fisherman came in.     ...
