Finally took our powerboat down the Severn to plant the three cages-worth of oysters we'd been growing under our dock since last fall. Driving into wind 10-12 mph from the South was no issue, but in the Severn River's narrows the water was so choppy since so many people were out, just as we were, enjoying Independence Day on the water. Dumped the oysters overside at a reef being built for this purpose at a spot marked with 4 yellow flags on the Southeast side of the river from the Rt 50 bridge.
We then looked down towards Annapolis and happened to see two of the three tall ships that were visiting for Independence Day -- the Pride of Baltimore, and Alexandria, VA's Providence. Decided to go down and take a look, buffetted by big waves bouncing off the Academy's seawall as we were. Wonderful chance to see these majestic vessels in Annapolis' harbor!
