May 26-31, 2015 - Annapolis-St. Michaels-Rock Hall

We spent our last two days in Annapolis getting us and the boat ready to leave.  This involved a hair cut, pedicure, and grocery shopping.  Jack had an electrician come to the boat to check out our inverter to make sure it was working as it should be.  We took one last trip by dinghy into the harbor for lunch on Wednesday.  We left Annapolis on Thursday at 8:30 and dropped the anchor around 11:30 at St. Michaels - right in front of the Inn at Perry Cabin, a really nice resort and spa.  After a week of the hustle and bustle of Annapolis and D.C., St. Michaels was a very pleasant and relaxing change.   Thursday the town was very quiet, but by Friday night the weekenders arrived by car and boat.  We spent two days exploring the town with its shops, restaurants, and winery.  We spent part of one day at the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.  It was a great museum spread out over about 14 buildings giving the history of the area from boat building to oystering and crabbing and the move to recreational boating.  We took the dinghy into town each day.  And, as if we don't spend enough time on a boat, we paid to go on a tour boat around the areas surrounding St. Michaels!  As a bonus on our last night, the Inn behind us held a wedding so we got a great view.  We left St. Michaels around 8:30 Sunday and arrived at Rock Hall Landing Marina around 11:15.  We took a trolley tour around the town, but there wasn't much to the town - just a few shops and restaurants.  We came back to the boat and took a swim in the marina pool.  It was very nice and refreshing.
