We’re still in Annapolis, having spent two partial days at the Annapolis boat show, the largest sailboat show in the world. Suzanne enjoyed looking at all the different boats with us on Sunday before leaving at 6:00.
We started the day Monday by meeting up with another Island Packet couple for breakfast at Chick and Ruth's. Wayne knows Hayden and Radeen through the IP email list that he has participated on for years, so it was especially fun for him to finally meet them. They had great suggestions on where to go in the Chesapeake, which we intend to follow up on.
We perused the boat show for a few hours and found some things for the boat we didn't know we needed (naturally).
Around 3:00 we had visitors - Dan and Barbara Interlandi. Dan, who retired in August, was a business associate of Wayne's for over 25 years. An interesting bit of trivia that Dan, Barbara, and Wayne have in common: all three of them are half Sicilian.
Right now Wayne is finishing up repairs on a couple of things that have plagued us from day one: He found out the power supply for the VHF radio hailer was bad, so he had to replace the entire VHF radio. He determined that the battery charger had a faulty circuit breaker. It worked intermittently, which made the problem hard to diagnose, but it has worked perfectly since he replaced it.
As soon as Wayne is done, we'll head over to St. Michael’s and anchor for the night.
