Barb and I haven’t been able to purchase tickets for the Grand Prix but I’m not sure we need too! There are plenty of locations that the race can be viewed from, and all are close to food and beverage! Today was a practice day and tomorrow a few short races will be run.



Tomorrow we plan to take a water taxi to visit Fort McHenry then to Baltimore’s world class National Aquarium.

I toured two ships in Baltimore’s Maritime museum collection. The first was the USS Constellation the last commissioned sailing ship in the US Navy. The other was a light ship, the Lightship Chesapeake (LS 116). Barb has seen all of the ships she needed to, so she waited patiently on a park bench while I looked around the old ships.
