Julia and I went to Annapolis this weekend for an all too brief visIt with my two sons, Jeffrey and David. No sailing, as a nasty front came through over the weekend. Jeff was in DC for a web analytics conference was able to spend some time with his brother. Here we are at J-Port where David is an instructor.
…
David, Shooby, Jeff and Julia.
We had lunch at the Boathouse in Eastport; a local spot for post race analysis. David called it “Yachtie Karate”, referencing the hand motions of all of the sailors describing racing tactics. Too funny.
…
I had no idea of the amount of sailboats in Annapolis. Everywhere you look you see spars. Beaton’s is like that on upper Barnegat Bay but this was special. We need to return for an exploratory sail toot sweet.

As the season advances, the low afternoon light lights up the spent roses and volunteer daises.

Last rose of the season? We usually have them through Halloween. The foliage turns a bright yellow for a bit of late season color.

A little too high tide. Taken last week during the first of two Northeasters. A gentle reminder of living at sea level.
Maddie and I were there for the (dare I say it) power boat show the previous weekend. We had a great time despite the rain. We parked in Eastport at the elementary school parking lot and later walked over to Weems and Plath. We had a great time but missed my favorite restaurant at the Charthouse.
If you need a sailing fix in Annapolis you, Julia and David have an open invitation to join Maddie and me on board INDY. We actually sail out of Oxford.
Hi John,
Nice to hear form you. One of these days Julia and I will take you up on your kind offer. I have a feeling we’ll be back to Annapolis soon.

Russ: Where do you get the sausage bread that always looks so good and crusty and golden-brown warming in your skillet?
Dave,
It’s from Joe Leone’s on Route 35 South in Point Pleasant Beach. It’s on the way to Beaton’s and a regular Saturday morning stop. The crew at Beaton’s have grown accustomed to a weekly taste and I try not to dissapoint.
Best,
Russ
Will you be around tomorrow (Saturday)? I might try to swing by at some point.
