expectations, who appreciates the facilities for what they are, and who is not a penny-pincher. Someone who understands the value of services and is willing to pay a fair price. For example, if you have to change a water pump, that involves removing five bolts or so, and it takes about an hour. But if you come across one bolt that proves hard to get off, it could take a lot more time. You never know until you get into a marine repair job what it will be.

Did you encounter any surprises this past year?
We always have a lot of cruisers who are heading south, but this year we had a good percentage who were going north. It was nice to have them come back and share their experiences.
Anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
We’re seeing a lot more people from the northern part of the Bay around Annapolis, coming our way. The slips and prices are way cheaper down here, and you get a more relaxed sailing experience. We’d love to have them. continued on page 44
