Early morning departure from Annapolis. |
|
|
On the Chesapeake at cruising speed |
|
|
What is this contraption? |
|
|
This is a Lighthouse ? ! |
|
|
Hmm... |
|
|
Wind picks up a bit. |
|
|
What century is this? |
|
|
Could it be Captain Bligh? |
|
|
It does look like his ship! |
|
|
Making good headway for being only 1/2 rigged. |
|
|
I clocked her at 8 knots! No slouch for a 300 year old design! |
|
|
I'll turn on my red lights and pull her over... |
|
|
Can you identify this vessel? |
|
|
HMS Bounty! (By God, it is Captain Bligh)! |
|
|
I'm outta here! |
|
|
There are times when speed is an advantage! |
|
|
Captain Bligh, indeed! |
|
|
Another strange lighthouse on the Chesapeake. These were so common you could nearly navigate exclusively by them. |
|
|
I have to admit, I love sailing. But, great conditions like these are fairly rare. |
|
|
Another lighthouse closer to my day's destination of Norfolk, VA. |
