A day on the bay

Richard, who used to live on my dock, is a retired marine mechanic who's helping me get the starboard transmission/propeller on Calypso repaired.  Richard wanted to take the boat out and see how she handled, so today .... for the first time since I've been here ... I actually got to take Calypso out on the bay.

Here's some photos from the 5-hour round trip.


above: first we headed toward Fells Point and The Inner Harbor ... and passed this paddle-wheel on the way back out.
