Acme Kids

You can count on two types of companies to be held on a sunny day in Annapolis: the Glaceries and fuel docks. And As I scan the harbor south of my outdoor table at Carrol Creek Cafe today is no exception. From there I can see several boats traveling in circles in front of the building red fuel dock at Annapolis City Marina. Like those Ice Cream lounges, boats wait patiently in line for their dose of fuel.

Fuel dock MCA and accompanying store, which was rebuilt in early 2005, are the focal point of the marina. Not only will you can or pump fuel up your boat there, but you can take the water taxi (ACM is one of their designated stops) or stop by to cool the air inside is usually set to "locker" meat ". The store ship has several coolers full of beverages (adult and young), sea ice supplies, ice cream, Starbucks coffee and a marina, and lending lifejackets for children. (The marina is a site for the BoatU.S. Foundation Program to provide them, so if you have a young visiting your boat does not have a PFD, just head on over, the only sign and return it when finished.)

Annapolis City Marina itself consists of three new quays rebuilt with approximately 90 sheets. Most are occupied by local slipholders, but there are transient slips available. If you shoot in ACM for the night, expect stunning views of downtown, the comings and goings in the harbor mooring field and the Spa Creek Bridge. Since the marina is so close to the port is in one of the Wi City Fi zones.

For dinner, you can either walk to a restaurant near Eastport, including Carrol's Creek, which is complex in the Marina, or take a brisk walk on the bridge in downtown Annapolis. Showers and Laundry are installed at the entrance to the basement garage. While this may seem slightly suspicious or fearful, the entry of the head is locked, platforms are dependent and the complex is very strong.

The next time you're in the port of Annapolis and you in need of fuel or 30-pack of beer, you'll find here. Just be a good boy and wait your turn for a place to dock and resupply Heck, you can even get some ice cream.
