 SOME SIGHTS ALONG THE WAY TO ANNAPOLIS
 BAY BRIDGE TO ANNAPOLIS
The view entering the river heading for Baltimore...
 These are some US Navy Supply ships on the way into Baltimore Harbor
For Jamey -- Baltimore City Fire Boats...
 This is Fort McHenry - The sight of the Battle in which our National Anthem was written...
The Admiral and Seaman First Class Chewy getting ready for another long day at sea...Not First Mate yet, but getting close...
 The Nuclear Power Plant on the New Jersey side of the Delaware River. We were able to ride the tide down the Delaware River by leaving Delaware City at 6:15 IN THE MORNING !!!However, we picked up three knots which almost doubled our speed (and halves our fuel consumption..
On of the still functioning lighthouses in the Delaware Bay...There are quite a few, indicating how dangerous the Bay can be...
 While we were docked in Cape May (still here due to weather as we write this), the Freedom pulled in...She is a sister ship to the Sequoia which was a Presidential yacht for many Presidents until President Carter sold it - on of the few things he actually did...You can google it and see the real beauty and style of yesteryear...She is now a fractional owner boat at $400,000 a share (5%). She is owned by McMillan Boat Company...
Another view as she was leaving...
