En route from Malta to the boat, stopped over in London to catch up with good friend Val and family in Walton on Thames. We spend our precious time together catching up, chatting away, usually over a glass of wine or three.
I charge around the plentiful shops finding bits we need on the boat, and shopping for 'unmentionables' in M&S!

| Back with the boys and the first stop is Starbucks for a coffee and snacket. |
 |
| On our way south we stopped at a place called Rockhall. There is a public dock and we stayed there for a few days getting the boat ready for the boat show. The community is big into catching crabs and oysters, a hard way to earn a living. |
 |
| Rockhall also had a great coffee shop, just a short bike ride from the boat. The leaves are starting to turn beautiful colours here and the temperatures are falling. |
 |
This, believe it or not, is the local library! I went along and exchanged some books.
Jay helped us with getting the boat look it's best for the boat show and then he flew off the England to spend some time with his dad and see some friends there. |

| 'No Rehearsal' in the Brokerage section on the Annapolis Boat show. The weather was not too good and there was a lot of rain on some of the days, but there was a lot of interest. On you tube there is a video called 'Annapolis Sailboat and Brokerage Show' and runs 11.32 minutes. NR is easy to spot as we are the only cat in the brokerage section, which plays after the main show shots. |
 |
| We spent most of the time at the show showing people around our boat, but now and then I managed to get off for a look around the new boats. Great sight with all the flags flying and the usual buzz of boat show fever, grabbing a quick coffee if the queue was not to long, or a painkiller later on in the day! |
