Celebrating Elaine in galley
Passing Star Spangled Buoy on way home
We wanted to celebrate the 4th of July in Baltimore with our friend Elaine whose birthday is also the 4th. We wanted to host Elaine and a few of her buddies on our boat, and knew the fireworks would be beautifully visible from Oasis Marina at Lighthouse Point. We left the South River on July 3rd and anchored in Rock Creek near Mike's that evening. The next morning, we motored (no wind) for the first time through the big gap left by the collapse of the Key Bridge. That was very sobering. So sad. We arrived Oasis Marina by noon, and were warmly welcomed by 3 dockhand, a big sign reserving our slip, and lots of swag. Wow! The fireworks that evening were awesome, and the birthday celebration too! When we left the following day, we paid homage to the Star Spangled Buoy.
