TGFT (Thank God For Thrusters)

Howdy! Today is July 28, 2009.

Happy Birthday, Ryan Allred!!!

We’re in Solomons, MD.
Check out the map!



…headed for Annapolis tomorrow for 2 days! Yay for a layover! So, last night, we saw a couple jellyfish by the dock and that was cool… but this morning when we got into the Chesapeake, there were TONS!!!! Way too many to count! Kinda gross.

Brace yourself for the best sunrise picture EVER:


Speaking of the Chesapeake, I was informed by a friend that I was responsible for getting a picture of a real live Chesapeake crab boat. So, here you go:
Way unique hull shape, right?

We saw a whole bunch of lighthouses today:

New Point Comfort:


Wolf Trap:
If you'll notice, there is a small building on the right side of the lighthouse... that would be the potty... hold on tight! :D

Smith Point:
again, notice the potty...

Point Lookout:


Believe it or not, we actually saw more than this, but could not get pictures… the binocular trick only works so far away. Two unaccounted for were Point No Point and Solomons Lump. Seriously.

This was way cool:
These are fishing boats that communicate with airplanes- the planes find HUGE schools of fish and tell the boats where to get them. They apparently bring in millions of fish. Craziness.

We had spaghetti for dinner. On the boat. Yum-oh.

Can’t wait for tomorrow, always something new to learn!

Thanks for reading! :D
