Day Five.
We stayed on the boat last night for dinner because of the thunderstorms. They gave us a great sky show. A pink sunset capped off the night. Early start this morning before 8am. Saw the US Coast Guard buoy tender James Rankin at the mouth of the Back Creek. On the Pax river we saw pelicans floating on the water. The James Rankin passed us heading north as we got out to the bay. We passed the El Paso LNG terminal with the voice of the all powerful OZ warning us not to get close or suffer the consequences. The Calvert Cliffs were spectacular. The only other boat we saw was a large car transporter. The weather was pretty smooth even though they were calling for storms. It's about 95 now and we have docked near Deale,Md. Going to the pool in as soon as I finish this.
