We left this morning at 7:30 and decided to bypass any other stops and go straight to Annapolis. We plan to stay here for 1 week. We’ll be renting a car and driving around the area, using the boat as our base.
We were alongside of these cliffs, some in the Calvert Cliffs State Park. Darrell thinks Tom Clancy used this area for Jack Ryan’s home when writing the novel “The Patriot Games”. It’s only a few miles from here by water to the Patuxent Navy Weapons Center, which was also in the book. Also, Calvert County, Maryland was where part of the movie version was filmed.
We had a few hundred flies on board with us today. We think we went through a hatching. It was not fun, some were biting. Beth spent a lot of the cruise killing flies. We had a fly cemetery when we arrived. Darrell had to hose off the boat.
Pictures of the Naval Academy. We passed it coming into our marina.
It is quite warm and humid today. There is supposed to be a cold front coming through tonight with rain and thunderstorms.
