M/V ILLUSIONS
YEAR 2000 CRUISE

Sailboat heading up the Severn River near
Annapolis

US Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD

The dinghy dock at the end of "Ego Alley"

Ego Alley was not very wide

It seemed even less wide with traffic approaching

On the right, Pusser's, then the Annapolis Marriott

The Annapolis Harbormaster

Thomas Point Light, Chesapeake Bay

Looking north at the Kent Narrows Bridge

We cleared the bridge with our antennas down

Restaurant north of Kent Narrows Bridge

Memorial Day on Chesapeake Bay

All the joints were jumping

Rita, enjoying the ride

Trent and Ed helped me navigate

We raced this ship to the channel crossing, and won

Sunset on the Magothy River, MD

Greg came by to say "Hello" (Patapsco River)

The American Eagle, which we had seen in GA

A ship outbound from the Port of Baltimore

Approaching Baltimore, MD

Note the gold tops on the church in the background

Approaching the Inner Harbor at Baltimore

We eventually tied up at the dock on the right, in front of the trawler

Submarine, right next to The National Aquarium

The downtown high-rises were a block away from the water

Harbor Place offered restaurants, shops, and boat rentals

The USS Constellation is available for tour

Philip's was in that building, along with several other restaurants

The National Aquarium

Very little dock space results in rafting-up

The Chesapeake was available for tours

Lots to see and do in the Inner Harbor

The sailboat was providing a tour of the harbor

ILLUSIONS tied up for lunch

It was a cool, rainy day

The sailboat and the water taxi were familiar sites
