Quick Update

Moving out or moving in - just exhausting. But after two months of living in a hotel room, our bodies needed some conditioning. Our moving aboard is not completed, but we've made great progress. The boat already has a large inventory of items, so going through everything and deciding what stays and what goes takes a while.

We kept our plans to attend the Annapolis Boat Show since our boat needed fluids and everything checked before it could be moved to our new slip at Dozier's Regatta Point. We have been to the Boat Show four of the five years we've been sailing. Usually, we look, dream, buy a few items, and just enjoy the outing. This year, of course, we made purchases of specific items and equipment we wanted plus we wanted to talk to the reps about some of the equipment already installed. Wednesday night before the show, we met up with a great group for dinner, including former and present Cedar Mills Marina folks.
Left to right, Kate (who hosted a lovely happy hour in her Annapolis home), Steven, Larry, Paula, Di, Jay, Bob, Bev, Kathy, Mike, Nancy, Jim, and Steve.The food was excellent, but the artwork stole the show. Check out the swan carved from a turnip.

Annapolis is such a beautiful city. And the views of the boat show are impressive, especially from Pusser's patio.

Virginia and Maryland have many rivers, but the Potomoc River that separates the two states is certainly one of the most famous.


We are really pleased with our new marina -nice facilities and a great staff. The best feature is viewing all the boats that stop by for the night, or maybe several days, depending on the weather.


We'll have more pictures of Lapidus soon, but these two show our current favorite additions. The custom-made seven inch thick latex mattress is the most comfortable mattress ever!
This week, our balmy weather ended abruptly with a cold snap. The enclosure offered needed protection from the rain and wind.

We'll be traveling until October 28. We'll be attending our son Trent's wedding. He and lovely Cristen live in Austin, but the wedding will be in Boerne, Texas, an historic resort town in the Hill country. We will also be leaving our pickup in OKC and flying back. Yes, the pickup is currently loaded with items that didn't make the cut. We have great storage, but ........

This schooner is in Yorktown, one of our favorite places. It takes paying passengers on a short excursion of the river. Mainly, it just adds another beautiful dimension to a lovely area.
