For our first day in Annapolis, we went to the infamous Sailboat Show, it was the 40th edition, so a show well anchored (no pun intended) in town. By the way, Annapolis was the first American Capital, before Washington. I didn’t read too much on the subject but I think a major flood had them move the Capital to Washington, further inside the land.

The sailboat show is impressive, small, medium and large boats, worth from a few thousands, up to multiple millions. Of course, the nicest, fastest and luxurious are the most expensive! I’ve started to look for my equipment and got a few sales pitches from all brands salespersons, but in the end it was the price that would make me buy something. I bought my deck shoes, the ones I will wear on the boat before it gets warm enough to walk barefoot.
