Baltimore Harbor Re: [Rhodes22-list] Robert's Adriatic Cruise Practice Session

[Mary Lou Troy]

I agree that Baltimore Harbor is a good destination. Not only is it 
inspiring to sail past Ft. McHenry, there is a red, white and blue 
buoy out near the Key bridge that is supposed to be the spot from 
which Key observed the bombardment. We look for it every time each 
time up or down the Patapsco. It's also great to tie up at the Inner 
Harbor and walk to a ball game.
