A nice sail up the bay put us in Annapolis for their show on the 4th. One word--crowded! I always love hanging out in a busy anchorage in 15kt breezes with folks who have never used their tiny anchor and nylon rode outside of a protected cove! The highlights...not-so-discreetly pulling out the fenders as a small runabout tried to anchor on our starboard side, saying in a rather conversational tone "excuse me, but I think you're dragging" to two guys in the cockpit of a sailboat mere feet from our bow, and the winner--the guy with a petite wife and two kids in a Grady White, who dropped the anchor with his good arm that wasn't in a sling and then assured us he would keep an eye on our rode ~5' from his prop, which he kept engaging since he was dragging. Despite all that "fun" the show was great!
