We pulled anchor and left Chesapeake City at 8:30 am. It was partly sunny and pleasant. Winds were SSW 12-15 knots increasing to 15-20 knots in the afternoon. After about 5 hours I knew we were close to Annapolis because we had just enought fuel to get there and we were out of fuel. But that really wasn't the case. Apparently we used more fuel than I had calculated because of the rough seas and we still had about 3 hours to go. Luckily we had 2-5 gallon Jerry cans of diesel and we were able to fuel while we were under way. We arrived Port Annapolis Marina and were tied up at our slip at 4:45 pm.
Friday and Saturday we will be at the sail boat show and head home on Sunday for the arrival of a new granddaughter on Monday morning.
Jasen and I will catch up with the Captains and the boat again in Norfolk around October 27th where we will continue this blog for the rest of the trip to the Bahamas.
