Anchor Bay East Marina
“The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it and join the dance.” –Alan Watts
We had a little work done on the boat while we were away last month, so today we took a shake down cruise to make sure everything was working properly. The work seemed fine, but the bottom definitely had issues. The marina didn’t have a recommendation for a diver to scrape our bottom, so we did a quick haul and had it pressure washed. What a difference a clean bottom and running gear makes…one step closer to cruising on.
Cruising into Baltimore Harbor today reminded me of all the lighthouses in this area of the Chesapeake. There are six lighthouses in the Patapsco River leading into the Inner Harbor and two others in the bay just outside the river. According to the Lighthouse Friends website there are 36 lighthouses on the Bay…that’s a lot of lighthouses! Here are the eight that are the closest to Baltimore.

Baltimore Lighthouse built in 1908
Craighill Channel Lower Rear Lighthouse built in 1875
Craighill Channel Lower Front Lighthouse built in 1875
