Nordic Belle II - Nordic Belle II is a rest on a mooring ball by Bert Jabin's Boat Yard, Back Creek Annapolis

Today we picked up a mooring in anticipation of some nasty weather heading towards Annapolis.  Today's adventure was to go to the Super Giant grocery store by going up to the end of Back Creek, climb up a break wall, walk through the woods and 10 minutes later we were at a very decent grocery store.  We are now relaxing as the rain begins.  We will be here until the end of the boat show.Let us know if there are any exciting ARC activities this week.Torstein Braaten. read more...
