Leaving Baltimore



Oops!


We continue to have very rainy weather! Baltimore had more than 6 inches last night and every county around us is flooding or on alert. Barb and I took advantage of a break in the bad weather and moved the boat to the mouth of the Patapsco River where it meets the Chesapeake. The water in the Patapsco River was brown in color and filled with debris. Considering the number of ships we encountered going into Baltimore this trip was void of all shipping!

Cleaning up the river!



Lonely on the river



We have positioned ourselves to make the run to the Delaware City Marina in two days. Because of the continuing bad weather and the earliest the marina could haul us would be Monday we will stay here two nights hoping the weather will improve for our 70 mile run.

Maryland Yacht Club in sight!



The photo attached is of a small boat that sank last night during the down pour! I was told the boat had two new 250 HP Mercury engines installed the week before!
