Maryland/Chesapeake Vacation Day 5 - Oct 14, 2013
On Monday we drove from Cambridge, MD to Annapolis. We attended the Annapolis Sailboat show. We were both impressed with how large the show is and how many very large boats there were. There was a 70' catamaran and a 70' mono hull. There were many 50 and 60 foot boats, both cats and mono hulls.

One of many,
many large boats.

There were only a handful of small boats in my range, but two that I looked at were very nice boats, a Rhodes and a West Wight Potter. Both boats have been manufactured for years and excellent reputations. They are very well thought out "pocket" cruisers. I also looked briefly
at a Catalina 22... probably the most prolific sailboat in
the 18-25 foot range. Again, they've been making them since
the 70s and still are making them. There
were many, many vendors to look at. It really was
overwhelming. We walked around in the boat
show for about 2 1/2 hours and then headed up to the
Annapolis visitors center to see about joining a walking
tour. The next available tour was 3PM and the cost was $11
per person. So we took the self guided map and walked all
over town and saw much of the historic downtown.
