"The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in
its net of wonder forever."—Jacques Cousteau

May 18 – Baltimore, MD

Inner Harbor
Henderson’s Wharf Marina

We spent the morning getting things ready for our trip home.We decided this afternoon we would walk to the Inner Harbor and spend a little time watching people and seeing the sights one more time. We will be sitting in the car the next few days and figured we needed the exercise. I have an app on my phone I use to track how far we walk or bike…we did over 6 miles this afternoon. On our way back to the boat we stopped at the Dead End Saloon for a beer and dinner…I think we earned it! We had fun visiting with other people in the bar and the food was pretty good. Henderson’s Marina is in the perfect location…close to the Inner Harbor, Little Italy and Fell’s Point; all full of great places to explore and wonderful restaurants to try.
