Thursday, October 4, 2007 - Chester River to Baltimore Inner Harbor, MD

I was up at 0630 so that we could catch the tide down the Chester River. We walked Sailor, raised the dinghy, had breakfast, and departed at 0830. The weather was foggy and cool. It took us about 2 ½ hours to reach the Chesapeake. We listened to the blues on Sirius radio while Hank played the harmonica. We reached Baltimore Inner Harbor around 1300. We docked on the eastern side of the city docks near the promenade. A city employee stopped by to collect the $1.25/ft. docking fee. With electricity, a night’s stay costs $56.50. Dora and Maggie walked to the bank to get some cash and decided to do some shopping. Hank and I set up lawn chairs on the dock next to Seascape and watched people and talked. We went out to dinner to Babalu, a Cuban restaurant. It was a nice place, but not especially good food.
