Motoring in Maryland

Coming into Baltimore and cruising under the Francis Scott Key Bridge and the Eagle Harbor Yacht Club Burgee after a long day (13 hours)
of steady cruising up the Chesapeake Bay. 
We left Calvert Marina at 6AM, arriving in Baltimore at 6:58 PM. It was slow going and rough near Annapolis, but all in all a good day of cruising.
We were exhausted -- as was Tori, who rode it out with us.
 


Our Buddy boat the M/V Aurora. 

Kevin and Linda Nelson -- and TC the Cat -- travel on this
36-foot Albin trawler.

This is a view of guns at Fort McHenry -- where Francis Scott Key
wrote the Star Spangled Banner.


Dr. Samuel Mudd's house in St. Charles County, MD. 
Dr. Mudd was the physician who was accused and convicted of giving medical aid to John Wilkes Booth, the assassin who killed President Abraham Lincoln.  Booth's house is also in Southern Maryland. 

We have traveled 3700 miles since launching in the
Mississippi River at Red Wing, Minnesota. 
Dan ran the Gammel Dansk aground in Georgia. No harm, no foul. We celebrated the 4th of July on the Chesapeake and Delaware canal.  After the celebrations in the small town of Chesapeake City, Maryland, we head to Cape May, New Jersey. Then to New York City by the middle of July.
