Wednesday - June 26

Hello from Baltimore.......nice leisurely trip this morning after exercising.    We cruised 51 miles and arrived at noon.    Washed down the boat and then walked to "Little Havana" a favorite from years ago - short jaunt from the Inner Harbor marina and good Cuban and other food.

So many good memories of this "Charm City" from years past.  Philip lived on his boat ("Terraphobic" - fear of land) here in 2000-2001.   Last July, we had a fun time with Drew, Davis and Brady....hot that day and hot again today!
 
Mark has always been the logistics planner for our travels and sometimes, it gets pretty complicated and challenging, but he always comes thru - might need a Plan A, B, C...but we get to where we need to be.  
 
  So....Catrina is settled here in the Inner Harbor and tomorrow morning, we are flying to Myrtle Beach to get our truck.   We'll drive it back here (472 miles) and stay till Sunday when we'll take the boat to Dundalk, MD (this is where we had Catrina lifted out 2 years ago when Hurricane Irene was coming).    Monday morning, she'll be lifted out again and stored on land.    We will then take off for Michael and Brooke's near Hickory, NC for a month!
 
At 5:15 the skies darkened, lots of thunder and lightning and very strong winds.   Sooo glad we were inside Catrina and out of the elements as we had a torrential downpour and storm.
 
After the storm passed thru, we grabbed our umbrellas and took off for the Inner Harbor (more rain is coming).    Its so fun and pleasant to be here in Baltimore again - love this area.    Started raining and we ducked into the shops and walked around.   Lots of folks out and about.   Stopped at Cheesecake Factory for dessert - yumeee    Coming back to the marina, we walked around Federal Hill past the many row houses - such a neat area.  We walked 7 1/4 miles total!
