EGO ALLEY in Annapolis

After attending the Annapolis sailboat show, where we ordered a "stack pack" for our mainsail, we dinghied over to their shop in Eastport to pick up some fabric samples (needed to match our jib sail cover). Once there, we got to wandering, and talked with a dinghy repair shop about replacing a valve in our dinghy. We arranged to bring it over the next day (Tuesday), so we brought Deeper Season in, anchored briefly and zipped into shore. One thing led to another, and before we knew it we were rowing back in a loaner dinghy, having left ours for some patching work. We moved into the mooring field to make the rowing distance more manageable and (because Tuesday was between boat shows) got one right off the center of Annapolis - a place known as "Ego Alley."
So, for the past few days we've had a front row seat, watching all the power boats come in. And in the midst of all these huge boats, we've also watched the local sailing teams come out to practice. What a parade! Here are some favorite pics!

The intrepid sailors!
