Isabel - Thursday morning

 

Thursday AM,  the wind is around the northeast but not blowing hard yet.  No special tides.  It is a rather gray and foreboding day though.

Eastport YC

Don't think its been that empty in front of the club since it was built. Striking the burgee just to be safe. Looking along the bulkhead, currently still dry.

Road Trip is nestled in comfortably, not much more we can do there. SSA still has her colors flying. Looking down EYC's parking lot towards the hoist.  Hopefully I can take several shots from this angle as the tide rise.
Annapolis YC

Front the center of the Spa Creek drawbridge, looking over at the main club house of Annapolis Yacht Club.  Pretty peaceful so far.

The "Annex" at AYC, with Quick Step in her usual slip Looking up Spa Creek on the Annapolis side

A classic early flooding spot.  The foot of Fifth street at the corner of AYC's Sailing Center. The AYC Sailing Center from the center of the bridge.  All boats have their rigs down and are tied to their trailers.  S&M normally lives just off to the right.  But she's been moved to back of the yard snuggled in next to MacDuff.

Main Street and City Dock area

Statue of Alex Haley at the head of Ego Alley.  He will probably get quite wet. Alex's view of ego alley

Looking down Main Street and Ego Alley from outside Ben and Jerry's Looking up at the State Capitol.  Like EYC, no flags flying today!

Flamingo at the tip of city dock where the Harbor Queen, does that sound like something we've heard Debbie say before??? Looking across at the City Dock shops Looking up Ego Alley to Fawcett.  Another classic early flooding spot

Out towards the Yacht Basin And across to the Naval Academy
