Annapolis, Maryland - Decided to stay another day here and visit the Naval Academy. It truly was impressive. It has approximately 4,400 midshipmen at the school. The Academy allows you to go to school for two years before you have to sign a contract in which they pay for your education and you give them five years service. In the evening we were entertained with a sailing race. At the end of the race they came in to the harbour and spent time dodging the boats in the mooring field and each other.
