Heidi is aboard!

Boat projects and oyster shooters kept me occupied until Heidi arrive on Thursday, 11/19, about 2 PM. Thanks, Susan, for delivering my Babe. Friday was a beautiful day; we slept in, stowed gear, got fuel and water, did laundry, ate at McCormick and Schmidt’s for $18, including two shooters for me.

Saturday we hauled the dinghy and fitted the bag that Heidi made for it. Perfect fit; way to go Heidi! Got under way about 1000; motored to Annapolis; on a mooring by 1430. No one appeared to collect mooring fee. We love these off season freebees.

Sunday was an easy down wind sail to the Solomons. Not our favorite port, but it is in the right place, and, once again, no charge for the mooring.

Monday, 11/21: Fast sail to Tangier Island. 15 to 20 kts with higher gusts gave us 0ver 8 kts on a broad to beam reach. Milton Parks, dock master, once again had a tight berth available for us. Local dinner and nice people.
