The anchorage here was so rocky from the passing boats in the outside channel. We decided to run into town to get a bit of peace. But first we had to call the
"pump-out" boat. No one really likes a pump out, let alone calling for one over the public radio, but, Annapolis has a pump out boat and when your tanks are full, for $5 they will take care of you. We got that order of business out of the way and headed into town. We went to the shore opposite the boat show and tied up at the end of one of the streets. Every street has a little tie up which is great. It was just a short walk over the bridge back to downtown. Connor was obsessed with spending his allowance on an Iron Man figure from a comic store. With some attempt at coaching him on this purchase (trying to persuade him that he didn't need it) he did it anyway. We are trying to teach him to save a bit of his money, but it is a new concept and, I am sure with a little bit of time he will hold onto it for longer than a day. Fingers crossed. We stayed on shore until the very last minute when we jumped back in the dinghy before sunrise. The anchorage had settled down. When we got back to the boat not too many things were out of place from the rocking.
