9/6 ● Annapolis Is Truly Charming But …




…we must move on to a better location to be ready for tropical storm Hannah. We had planned on staying in Annapolis through the weekend and do some sightseeing but we changed plans on Thursday and made our way to the West River on Friday (9/5). This particular part of the West River, near Galesville, MD, is known, among sailors, for being a hurricane hole – safe haven in a storm. We took a slip at the Hartge Yacht Yard, tied down tight and waited for the storm to pass – high winds – torrential rains – oh boy!!! We’ll head to the Potomac River on Sunday or Monday.
