THURSDAY- Met with Fred & Linda on Thursday morning and toured the WWII submarine Torsk with a real life Naval officer (Fred). He served aboard a similar sub for several years and knew it inside out. What a treat! After lunch Mike & I wandered the USS Constellation, an historic 160 year old square-rigged warship. She was actually in commission from 1853 until the 1950's!! Her hull timbers were enormous.
In the evening Henry Dennig took Mike, Louie & I, to their boat for a Debbie dinner. The full moon high tide had pushed water over their fixed dock so we waded to Seven Tenths, their Great Harbour GH47. Debbie made crab cakes and baked potatoes with snappy green beans. Double yumm! We had a great evening exchanging boat stories; Henry had Louie barking and prancing.
FRIDAY- We drove to the Power Boat Show in Annapolis, accompanied by Fred and Linda, in a car borrowed from Woody, our AC repairman. Lunched at Pusser's with Richard & Shannon of Esmeralda (Great Harbour N37) and Betty and Klaas of Moon Beam (another Great Harbour N37). It is so much fun exchanging adventure stories and our very malleable plans. Leaving the show we encountered new Great Harbour GH37 owners Ron and Tina (Sea Gypsy) so we all went to Mike's Crab Shack for dinner. Another great day!
SATURDAY- It's been stay-on-the-boat day and a blustery one, indeed, with 25-30 mph winds all day. I cleaned, did laundry and scrubbed the salon rug; then, had my hair cut into a wonderful, carefree boat cut! Mike completed the Sirius radio antenna installation then reinstalled the newly-repaired forward cabin AC unit. The compressor had failed prematurely; parts were warrantied but not the labor so Mike did as much of the work as possible. It's chilly tonight so we had chili and watched a goofy British movie.
