Hanging out.

Sitting still in Annapolis right now. Wind is on the nose for Solomon's, so we'll go into town for a late lunch in the sunshine. Can't beat that! We'll check the wind and weather tomorrow, and probably head out, else we cough up some more dough for Mr. Jabin, who I just met. Nice guy. We needed to move the boat to make way for a rather large Shannon motor sailor, and backing in was the only way. He saw the look on my face that said, "I just got a new insurance company 3 weeks ago, and bouncing off the Passport, and Hinkley on my way to the finger might be a bad way to introduce myself to them". As shameful as it was, he wanted to take a stab at moving the boat in reverse, so....I let him. Of course it was a perfect maneuver in the wind and current, and now I feel like I lost a stripe off the shoulder. Too early for beer?

  2. Never to early, everyone gets lucky docking once in awhile, probably
    Not his first time.
