Fourth of July Celebrations

     Friday the 3rd of July was the start of Sharon's vacation. As Grant was in New Mexico at the Philmont Scout Ranch for a 2 week hike, we had Sky with us. One of our "dog friendly" anchorages is Conquest Beach, "across" the river from Comegys Bight. On Friday night, we were treated to Rock Hall's fireworks, which I charted to be 5 miles away as the crow flies. Although we did not have the audio portion of the program, we did have an excellent view due to the low humidity. Then, on the 4th of July, we were again treated to not one but many fireworks displays, and from the same anchorage of the previous night. To the east was the fireworks from Chestertown (7 miles away), and to the west we could get a glimpse of the show from the city of Baltimore, across the bay. Then, to the north, we saw fireworks from a unknown community, and to the south of Chestertown was yet another display. And then there was the amatuer fireworks display from the shoreline that amused us for some time. So you might say we had the best seats in the house!
