We finished a great visit to Annapolis with many more adventures, mostly those type of visiting friends and other cruisers. Some highlights were:
The most memorable and bittersweet moment was spending our last evenings with our friends on Raptor. Kids had fun swimming, sailing, playing games on board while the adults relaxed and enjoyed beautiful sunsets and made plans for our next meet up when we travel across the country next summer. After many hugs and tears, we said our goodbyes as Raptor sailed north toward New York and we made preparations for our trip to DC. We learned a lot from and sure will miss Jaime, Andy, Owen, Carmel, and Addie. But we carry them in our hearts on the rest of our journey.
- Meeting up with Karrie's high school classmate, Rich Jacobson, who was in town visiting his son, Michael, a plebe at the Naval Academy
- Several meet-ups at a local park with some cruising/sailing families we've met in the past few months, including ice cream treats
- More time with our local friends, the Keithleys, including a great night out for crab at local institution, Cantler's
