June 12th - Rain, Rain, Rain


We left Baltimore yesterday after two good days exploring Baltimore and completing a few odd jobs on the boat.  People in Baltimore were very friendly.  I stopped to spell the flowers at an intersection and two people asked me how they smelled.
 

My brother Jeff and niece Emma drove up from Silver Spring and we went to the Orioles – Dodgers game.  Actually, we went to one and a half innings of the game.  Two rain delays and then we went back to the boat.  Still, a nice evening with Jeff and Emma.

We left Baltimore in rain and thunderstorms.  It was lonely out there – only saw one other boat. Fairways did fine and we made it to an anchorage on the Sassafras River and took the mandatory nap.  Today it is still raining and the C&D canal is closed due to fog.  So we’re sitting on the anchor one more day.  We hope to get to Chesapeake City tomorrow and Cape May on Saturday.  We’ll see.  I hear weather reports about flooding, at least we’re not worried about that.

Yesterday we were “off the grid” and had no cell coverage or Internet.  It was a good thing, but still takes some getting used to.  I finished my second book.
