CHESAPEAKE BAY MARITIME MUSEUM

St Michael's Maryland
May 31th 2014

Bought a pop-up gazebo tent just for the occasion.	Sailing in rush-hour traffic.	The pool was some 50 x 80 feet.
The pool was behind a building upwind....	making the wind a bit flukey.	A pretty lady admires a pretty lady.
Docked for the day..	Unrigged and ready to pack into the van.	.

BALTIMORE PORT EXPO
NATIONAL MARITIME DAY

Pier 13 Baltimore Maryland
May 17th 2015

Once more into the van!	We were set up with the other exhibitors this year.	under the big-top!
The pool was set-up at the end of the pier...	...the Savannah didn't mess with the wind this way...	...but the pool was still a little shallow for Stella.
There were some 15 models on exhibit.	Grounded even without her full load of ballast...	...but she still looked nice in the water.
.	Can't wait to get her into open water.	.
