Annapolis Fireworks by Karen Posey - July 4, 2015
We have been in Annapolis and other locales on the Chesapeake Bay since June 25. This area is as beautiful, relaxing, charming, and interesting as I remember it. (Side note: Annapolis’s nickname is “Naptown”.)
Annapolis is a sailor’s town. The photo below shows just a small fraction of the sailboats that are docked in Annapolis. (Part of the Naval Academy is in the far background.)

The marina at which we are docked (Horn Point Marina) is adjacent to the Annapolis Harbor. Fireworks are shot off from a barge in the harbor each July 4th, and boats pack the area to watch them. We took the boat out into the harbor to watch the fireworks display. The sunset that evening as we left the dock was spectacular.

The firework display, while not as grand as the display in nearby Washington, DC, was quite impressive. It is fun to see them from the water (and sometimes challenging to return to the docks in the dark surrounded by other moving boats when the display is over). We anchored outside the congestion of boats to make returning to the docks easier.
