October 2012--Time to Begin the Push South



A few more photos of the Annapolis Boat Show, then it's time to head south.



Tom Brinkley shows Pratique

End of Show!
One thing that gets in the way of fun is work. Before, after and even during the show we commuted back up to CT to and from work. When the Annapolis show ended Susan and I had a week to cruise the Chesapeake, from Annapolis to Norfolk VA.  A week does not do the Chesapeake justice, but we did have a great time in St. Michaels, Solomons Island, and in a quiet anchorage up Dymer Creek off Fleets Bay, VA

Anybody home??


Another great sunset!

Next stop, Norfolk



Bow right up to the restaurant at Vinings Landing, Little Creek
 

Howard the Duck greets Pratique at Vinings Landing!


Time once again for us to leave Pratique safe and sound in Little Creek.   In two short weeks, I'd be returning with my cousin Hank and good friend Steve, to start the journey south to Florida.  Little did we know that a girl named Sandy would try to stop us!
