Baltimore Part II

Wednesday, 10-7-09

After checking the weather forecast , we decided to make the run from Chesapeake City back into Baltimore Harbor yesterday to avoid the strong winds today.  The wind today is blowing steady over 20 mph, and gusting up to about 40.  Glad we're not out on the bay somewhere.  We can't stand up in the boat, and we're tied to the dock in a sheltered marina.  Thanks NOAA for the warning.

We visited the Leonardo Da Vinci exhibit at the Maryland Science Center.  The Da Vinci exhibit was interesting, as was the remainder of the center.  It's set up mostly for kids, so I fit right in.  They even had a bed of nails for me to nap on. 

We stuffed ourselves later at an all you can eat seafood buffet.  Crab cakes, crab imperial, clams, mussels, shrimp, oysters, and even tried some crayfish.  (That would be crawdads to you Hoosiers.)

It's our plan to return tomorrow to Ferry Point Marina where we launched the boat.  Hopefully, our truck and trailer will be waiting there for us.  We will deflate the dinghy, load up the bicycles, etc. and make ready to pull out the boat and start home Friday.

We heard from more Rosborough owners Reed and Judy on Filamingo (that's how they spell it) that they also launched their boat at Ferry Point, and are staying at a friends dock nearby.  We'll probably see them there tomorrow evening.
