51 miles        Solomons, MD to Annapolis, MD

Our day started out a little foggy but there was still a good 5 mile visibility and that burned off after an hour. The bay was very friendly again today with very light winds and flat water. After passing by 2 more lighthouses (if you haven’t guessed by know we love lighthouses) and seeing several large ships we pulled into Annapolis MD and tied to a mooring ball.

Cove Point Light.

 Fuel/Oil off loading rig.

 

 Just outside Annapolis there was a giant parking lot for ships.

 

We took the dinghy to shore, took a ride on a touring trolley and walked around for awhile. About 4:00 pm it started to cloud over (so much for that 20% chance of rain from the weatherman), so we stopped at a bar for a drink to wait out the rain. We no sooner pulled up a seat and a tornado warning was issued till 5:15 pm. It got really dark and there was a good soaking of rain for the next hour, than the sun came back out. PHEW!!! No tornado.
