Beautiful Sunday afternoon in Annapolis

Yesterday we experienced what remained of Hanna. It was pretty much a non-event here in Annapolis. Bill and I saw 30 knots, which wasn't bad. The main thing that we were keeping an eye on was the level of the water. There was a surge from the rain and the water maxed at about 8 inches from the dock. Bill adjusted the lines and the fenders and we were fine.

Today we finally went downtown and ate at El Torro Bravo, a Mexican restaurant that we heard great things about which was closed for renovations the last year. After we walked around downtown Annapolis and listened to the music and browsed the street vendors. It was the first annual "Sunday in Annapolis" so many stores set up sidewalk sales, etc. It was a beautiful day, and there were lots of people and activity downtown. Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera, so we don't have any pictures to share. Hope everyone had a great weekend.
We are waiting on a mail delivery, which should happen tomorrow. The plan is to do a few errands and chores tomorrow and leave for the Wye River on Tuesday for Bill's birthday. We are both looking forward to a little sailing on the Chesapeake and anchoring in one of our favorite spots for a few days!
