Oct 9, Annapolis, MD

We traveled 27 miles from Baltimore to Annapolis and we were lucked out and was able to grab a mooring ball right by the boat show.  Ken timed it where it was the last day of the sail boat show and they were breaking down and getting ready for the power boat show.  There were a dozen mooring balls available when the day before we called and they reported they were all taken.
We caught a water taxi to the historic down town Annapolis.  Adorable town with tons of historic buildings.  Our first stop was the visitor center and we jumped on a trolley for a tour.



Overlooking the Severn River is the Blue Star Memorial which is a tribute to the Arrned Forces that have defended the
