Baltimore 2

Still Monday

We took a slip at the city marina,  Not too expensive ($35) and right in the heart of the inner harbor.

We checked in with the harbormaster, and the went walking around town.  Ended up  walking all the way over to Fells Point.    Quite a hike.

There are several old ships to tour--including the USS Constellation.  (Our boat is in the background)  

There's also a submarine we might tour.

Lots of little dragons were getting puffed around here by the sea in the autumn mist.

As I mentioned earlier, it was very windy today.  We're meeting a couple of other Rosboroughs here.  Frank and Pat on "Grey Goose" keep their boat on the C&D canal in Delaware.  They made reservations for all three of us at the Inner Harbor East Marina for Tuesday and Wednesday this week.  That marina has a special this week, and are letting us stay at a VERY reduced rendezvous price.  Anyway, with the weather forecast no better for tomorrow, they decided to make one long miserable trip all the way down here today.  They arrived about 5 pm.

 

They had to come all the way directly into the wind and waves, with water crashing over the cabin top.  They had a new leak in the windshield and the interior got soaked.  Frank suffered a nasty cut on the head from getting it banged against the boat in the waves. 

It's good to see them again.  We expect to see Hawkeye arrive tomorrow, hopefully with an easier journey.
