Fleet 10, Day 5

"No Stress" departs Baltimore Harbor

From Captain Sean's FB post, Day 5:

"Fleet 10 Cruise Day 5:  Tuesday, we left Baltimore for the longest leg of the trip. Keith Otto joined the crew the night before. No Stress needed to fuel up by the Rusty Scupper, so we took a detour into Inner Harbor and decided to sail our way out. We made way, but it was slow going with only moments of actual sailing. Keith took the helm and ended up taking us all the way to Dobbins. We motorsailed after Fort McHenry and just motored once out of the Patapsco River. We saw several cownose rays swimming up the bay. We anchored off Dobbins Island to swim for a couple hours. Then we headed across the Magothy to the Ulmstead dock in Forked Creek where Ed "EG" and Karin Gipple had graciously invited us to dock with power at their community slips and hang out in their beautiful home for dinner. Those without AC onboard stayed overnight in their house to beat the heat. This was an unexpected and great addition to this year's cruise. They had a pizza party for Paul Fetter's birthday."
