Baltimore, MD September 25-28


Buoy Near Francis Scott Key Bridge
Fort McHenry, Baltimore
After several delightful days in Annapolis, we moved up the coast to Baltimore.  Entering the harbor as did the British in 1814, passing the spot from which Francis Scott Key observed the star spangled banner waving, and then passing Fort McHenry, which the British were not able to pass, was awe-inspiring!

Sailboat Races off Annapolis

We enjoyed several days at Trawler Fest climbing on lots of different boats, renewing many former acquaintances, and making many new acquaintances.  A special treat was when the USS Constellation was towed from her berth, turned around to a cannon salute, and then returned to her berth.  All of this occurred within fifty yards of where we were docked!  We departed Baltimore and headed back to Solomons, MD.  Passing Annapolis, we saw a huge fleet of sailboats racing.  We will stay for several weeks in Solomons as we participate in a Kadey-Krogen owners' rendezvous where over 100 owners of our brand of boat will attend.  Following that event, we will fly to Texas for Kay's __th college reunion Homecoming, and a long-overdue visit with the kids and grandkids.
