Chick and Ruth's & US Naval Academy Museum

Weather was uncooperative for working on the boat – cold and raining.  

We went to Annapolis to order anchor chain, wash-down pump, paint and some parts from Bacon’s.  Stopped at Chick and Ruth’s for lunch (great malts and pies).  http://www.chickandruths.com/

After lunch, we toured U.S. Naval Academy.  Highlights were the Naval Academy Museum http://www.usna.edu/Museum/ which has exhibits about the history of seapower, the development of the US Navy and the life of a midshipman.

The Museum's holdings include: ship modelspaintingsprints, flags, uniforms, swords, firearms, medals, sculptures, manuscripts, rare books, photographs, ship instruments and gear, and a wide variety of personal marine memorabilia.

A highlight of the tour was the Naval Academy Chapel which contains the crypt of John Paul Jones.
