This weekend had great winds forecast for another trip to Annapolis! We were able to make the whole trip under sail, downwind with ~15kts at our backs. Arriving in the mooring field, we had our pick of the balls and took #1, right off Ego Alley. We headed into town and took a long walk around the Academy campus where we checked out their impressive fleet of boats. Then, of course, it was time for ice cream! No matter how cold it is, the kids are always up for ice cream!

Saturday night was spent peacefully watching a movie. Sunday morning we went on a long dinghy ride up Spa Creek and went ashore at Truxton Park. It was soooo nice! I love the crunch of leaves underfoot. We even managed to find a geocache while we were there!

We left Annapolis around lunch, getting underway from the mooring under sail for the first time ever. Figured an empty mooring field was a great place to try! From there it was a day of total sail. We didn't have to start the motor until just outside of the marina, and we made it to the dock just before sunset. THAT was a great sailing weekend!
