June 26 - Annapolis to Baltimore, MD

Even though we had quite a rain storm during the night, the sun was out, we had blue skies and it was already around 80. As we departed Annapolis, we had a good view of the Naval Academy. Soon after leaving, we passed the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. Our next stop was Baltimore. One of the first historic views was Fort Carroll, an abandoned fort in the middle of the Patapsco River. Nearby is the star-spangled buoy marking the approximate spot where Frances Scott Key,while imprisoned on a British ship, wrote the "The Star Spangled Banner." Just a bit further is Fort McHenry where the US flag still flies to this day. We headed to the Inner Harbor where we will tie up at the City of Baltimore

Public Docks for two nights. We are within easy walking distance from shops, restaurants, museums and various other attractions. Right after our short walk, we had a heavy rain and thunder shower. Great sleeping weather!
