BALTIMORE

Baltimore is an odd cruising destination, but a wonderful one.  What draws us here is the harbor, the light rail, and the airport.  The light rail, which is only blocks from the dock, makes it convenient to BWI.  No taxis, shuttles, or rental cars needed.

 

Baltimore has everything city that you may wish to experience.  You can’t hardly count the number of restaurants within walking distance.  There is a Whole Foods grocery.  Even a Best  Buy.  If it rains, there is the National Aquarium.  On our first visit here we walked to Camden Yards to watch the Red Sox and the Orioles.  This time we are shortstopping just to pick up good friends Lynn and Bill for a four day cruise.  Baltimore is a fair way up the Patapsco River, but in four days we will be able to reach quaint Chesapeake Bay towns and anchorages where there are no other boats.
