Annapolis - A drinking town with a sailing problem















No trip to Annapolis would be complete without at least one stop to Pusser's Bar for a Painkiller. They give you the recipe. They sell the mix. But nothing compares to having a Painkiller served up proper (strength 2,3 or 4...always start with 3). Unless of course it's having a Painkiller from the Marina Cay Pusser's in the BVI's. If you don't know the history of Pusser's Rum- Wiki it.



















Notice please the skinny Pusser's Rum bottle. You might be thinking...so. WELL my dear friends, the original bottle is fat and won't fit in the wine/liquor rack of any boat. NOT GOOD. Our bartender explained that these were new and by request of the bartenders. This became my new quest....I needed to find a resource/liquor store for the skinny bottles so we could have Pusser's on s/v Honey Ryder.













But alast....I searched and searched only to discover the bottles are only for Pusser's bars. ARGH!!














However, I did score some Peanut Rum.
*Yes, the pic is blurry but is it the pic or the picture taker after a Painkiller or two? Hummm?
**Please see previous posts about peanut rum and the peanut butter cup martini.

  1. Well, of course this is my favorite of all your posts from the trip! ;) Love Painkillers, and it's almost getting to be that season here... :) Enjoyed the Annapolis photos too, since it's one of our favorite towns, and the hilarious description of TSA puzzling over boat parts. LOL!

    Glad you had such a wonderful time and got another cool-weather sailing "fix", without leaving the dock!
