Pasadena, MD

We had a leisurely start to the day on Wednesday, June 22. The first thing we did was to row Archie into shore for his morning walk.  This is such a lovely neighborhood and there were several friendly people walking their dogs through the quiet streets and gracious homes, both large and small.







We pulled up the anchor by 10:05 but realized that the bridge we had to go through to get out of Annapolis Harbor wouldn’t open until 10:30.  So we made our way very slowly amidst more sailing classes to await the opening.





The bay was very calm and we had a pleasant and relatively short cruise to the Maryland Yacht Club in Pasadena, Maryland. We came here so Jonny would have good internet connectivity for the MTOA webinar he was hosting that evening. We had been to this yacht club last year for an MTOA event and we thought it was a beautiful setting. It is located on a point with water on three sides and lots of open grassy areas and beautiful vistas.  For some reason the club has been struggling for membership and nothing was open the day we were there.  No one was available to meet us at the dock but we were able to tie up relatively easily.



As soon as we settled in, I took Archie for a nice long walk on the extensive grounds.  Because no one was around he was able to run off leash and chase sticks to his heart’s content.



Back at Zendo, Jonny prepared for the webinar and did various boat chores.  I updated the blog and made potato salad to accompany the rib eye steak Jonny had purchased in Annapolis for our dinner after the webinar.  We took Archie for another walk later in the afternoon as the clouds started  moving in. It began to sprinkle a little as we headed back. Rain was predicted overnight and for the next day as well.





At 7 pm Jonny hosted MTOA’s first webinar featuring an accomplished surveyor on the topic of Boat Valuation - A Surveyor’s Perspective.  It was attended by over 40 participants and it was a very interesting presentation.

Afterwards we celebrated over a steak dinner and had a relaxing evening watching TV longer than planned.  The next day we will head to an anchorage on the Bohemia River as we make our way to Delaware City.
