The boat show fever is being felt...more and more sailboats are gathering around Annapolis. Its fun but it also remarkable to see so many sailboats of all classes and ages crisscrossing the waters of the bay. Because the day started on the chilly side (14C) we had our first coffee inside until the sun peaked above the treeline of Spa creek and warmed up the cockpit...then, only then, did we go outside to sip the rest of the coffee pot and enjoy our apple poppy seed pancakes. The rest of the day was spent doing errands, and around 2pm, we went for a little sightseeing in a neighbourhood called Eastport which used to host the most important oyster packing plant of the region...and the McNasby plant will now be revived as the Annapolis Maritime Museum. Check it out at this link:http://www.amaritime.org/history.html Such a nice tour made us thirsty and brought us right back at the Ramshead Tavern where we had been enjoying the happy hour yesterday with the Douce Folie crew Benoit and Andree! We had all enjoyed the "seafood happy hour" experience. Today was roastbeef and turkey with one of their great brews (the Tavern Ale is our preferred one). Should you visit Annapolis, don't forget to visit the Ramshead Tavern on West street!
