We visited the Rhode River twice, once with the Alberg group and the second time overnight as we made our way down the Bay toward the ICW. It is a very peaceful anchorage.
On our first visit to the Rhode River, we took this picture of some of the boats in the Alberg Association cruise rafted together. This, as we learned, is part of the tradition of the Chesapeake Alberg Association, and a very sociable way to sail.
Who could resist this picture, of the way many cruisers socialize - meeting by dinghy. they were from different rafts on the same cruise.
The leaning lightpost caught our attention; this street was blocked during the boat show, and the waterfront to the left was still being returned to normal when we took this picture.
Downtown Annapolis after the boat show returns to normality; a city of history, with older buildings and narrow streets.
We were moored at the end of this dock for a couple of weeks while we explored Annapolis and did some boat work. It was a very nice place to be.
We spent three nights in the Solomons, arriving there in cold, rainy weather which left everyone asking "Is your boat raining inside too?" The weather was caused by the remains of hurricane Wilma, whose passing we sat out there. The day the sun came out, all the cruisers all emerged...
When we emerged, one of the things we saw was yet another new condo development with docks, this time by the anchorage in Solomons.
Another one of our overnight anchorages, a very quiet spot on the Glebe River.
On our way to the Glebe River on the Potomac, we saw this beautiful schooner heading out.
On Jackson Creek, this tug was sitting at one of the docks with all its lights on, looking ready to go at any time.
Hampton has a very inviting waterfront, including the Cousteau Society building which we visited.
