Leaving Baltimore

Francis Scott Keys Bridge at entry to Baltimore Harbor

As we left Baltimore we passed under the Francis Scott Keys Bridge and then out on the Chesapeake.  We had fairly smooth water but after a turn the waves came at us on the side of Miss gg... rollin' rollin' rollin'... yep, I put on my sea bands and stayed put up on the bridge.

Departing Marina 

Continuing north the Bay narrows and the water became brown. We think this is because we were moving closer to the rivers that feed the north end of the Bay.  Where we have settled in for the night the water is greener. This was suppose to be a long day but we anchored about 3p very close to the C & D canal.  We had picked up almost 2knots from the incoming tide pushing us north.  There are three other boats anchored here, one sail boat and two motor vessels... one is flying a Looper flag!

This afternoon we have watched a few   huge container ships coming out of the canal! So we will have more experience passing by these big boys by tomorrow night.

God's special treat for us tonight... a sky on fire!  And a promise for tomorrow... His beautiful creation!
