Annapolis in the water boat show

Literally. Higher than normal tides played havoc. But everyone took it in stride. Not good for business though.Click image for larger version

It is a bit wet isn't it? Rare to close the Spa Creek bridge too.

Re: Annapolis in the water boat show

They scheduled the excess high water to remind people that they really need a boat. Good for business.

Yup, we were there yesterday ( leaving this morning ) they put down palates to walk on. Finally ended up rolling up out pants and carrying our shoes. Great boat show as always, we go pretty much every year.

Re: Annapolis in the water boat show

Heard from an uber driver in town: The extra high tide is due to all the big displacement boats in the harbor. - Ha!
