To see as much of the world as we can,
Using the smallest carbon footprint we can,
Spending the least amount of money we can,
Making as many friends we can.
Waiting for weather. Except for the laundromat issue, this is a great place to wait for weather.
Today's Excitement? There's good and there's bad.
First, the bad.
One of the boats anchored near us had dragged their anchor. Greg from Serenade calls it "Bumper Boats in a Blow."

Post Office to ship some Floating Leaf Tiny Quilts. Follow the action on the Floating Leaf Tiny Quilts Blog.
And yes …
That was fun. Perhaps too much of the wrong kind of fun.
Today is Hollywood Shower at the dock master building and grocery shopping day.
It was also Hose Clamp Day. That's the day CA inspects all hose clamps and lifeline stanchions.
The big discovery?
The Prop-Lok brake was disassembled …
Clods at Starbucks are sitting at the table with good outlets not using a computer. Just having thoughtful cups of coffee while tying up some of the few seats that have access to power.
We're waiting to pounce on their seats. Trying not to look like we're waiting to …
Five people we know at Starbucks this morning.
At the boat show, we ran into at least six people we know. Maybe more; it's easy to lose count. Some Whitby folks. Many vendors we've worked with. Many cruisers.
One benefit of being a cruiser: a tightly-knit community. Sprawling all …

Currently, Red Ranger should stay anchored at 38°58.586′N 076°28.415′W, Severn River, Annapolis, MD. We're near the end of our wait for a dodger. After several weeks of essentially nothing, suddenly a lot of stuff is happening. All at once. Some good. Some bad.
