Happy Mother’s Day
Annapolis City Mooring Field
What a wonderful Mother's Day...beautiful weather, two of
our kids for company, a cruise on the Chesapeake, and great food. Life doesn't
get much better. We woke up to a beautiful day and the city dock was just
coming alive, a muscle car show on one side of Ego Alley and a farmers market
on the other. We decided yesterday that we would cruise to Cantler's for lunch.
Stan had Kyle plot our course and let him captain the boat for the day; it gave
him a feel of what we do. He got a good look at what it's like to deal with
weekend boaters, wakes and crab pots...he made a wonderful captain. Brytanie
was in charge of handling the lines and she was amazing...a pro from all her
practice growing up. When we get too old to do this for ourselves we know a
good crew. We docked at the Canlter’s pier and enjoyed a sampling of some of
their most popular items...steamed crabs, rockfish, lump crab cakes, calamari
and key lime pie. Cantler's is definitely not a fancy place, but it's known for
its extremely fresh seafood and everything we had was amazing.
Cantler's is located in Mill Creek, which is very calm
compared to the Severn River and Spa Creek...there were boats everywhere.
Sailboat races, fishing boats and cruises of all kinds taking advantage of the
great weather. We took a mooring ball past the bridge and spent the rest of the
afternoon soaking up the sunshine and watching weekend boaters enjoying their
day. About 5:00 we dinghied the kids to shore so they could catch their flight
home. We had a great weekend having them onboard. They were our first overnight guest and it was a lot of fun having them with us.
My favorite view of Annapolis
Just a sample of how relaxing our afternoon was
