Marc-  Departure was uneventful at 07:30 with Stephanie at the wheel to back out of our slip.  We did a much better job today with watch sharing resulting in a much less exhausted Marc.  We managed excellent sailing with fair winds for 90% of the trip until just outside Annapolis and then the wind started blowing 20 knots from the Northwest exactly where we were going.  We managed well anyway and waited only 10 minutes for the Spa Creek drawbridge.  There were 5 open moorings to pick from when we arrived and we picked one next to Fiddler's Green.

After getting settled we went in Town for ab early dinner and a walk about seeing the Naval Academy, the Statehouse, and St. John's College briefly.
