mdmourges Posted May 12, 2006 #1 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Looked out my window this morning at around 7:45 am and there was GOS passing under the Chesapeake Bay bridge on her way to Baltimore. If I get home in time, I probably will get to see her heading down the Chesapeake on her way to the Caribbean. I am jealous of all the folks that will be on the cruise.

terri23 Posted May 12, 2006 #2 Share Posted May 12, 2006 and I am jealous that you can look out your window and see the bay! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookedhalo Posted May 12, 2006 #3 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Mark - I'll wave as I go by on 9/1 (it can't get here soon enough!), but seriously, that has got to be so cool to see. I grew up on the water, and miss being able to see it whenever I want (I can't afford to be that close to water:( ). Here's an idea - rates are great for 9/1 - Join us!

MJonTravel Posted May 12, 2006 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I was onboard! Sailing up the Chesapeake was quite a treat. I wish disembarkation in Baltimore had been a bit smoother. 1.5 hour wait for a taxi. Ugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Well that's something I haven't heard in a long time! When I was 9-11 years old we lived in Pasadena MD and on our way to visit my Aunt in Baltimore we would pass over that bridge. You just brought back a whole lot of memories. I used to be so scared passing over bridges. Isn't there some sort of tunnel too? I remember it being very long. My father was in the Coast Guard so we lived in so many different places it's hard to remember them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a marvel of engineering! Quite a convenience for those of us on the Eastern Shore of Maryland ( or Del-Mar- Va also) for going south!

starq1 Posted May 13, 2006 #7 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I guess that's it! We lived in Newport News VA after we left Maryland. So I guess that is where I am remembering it from. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmourges Posted May 13, 2006 Author #8 Share Posted May 13, 2006 My wife and I did see GOS sailing away last night. It was so cool. It came under the bay bridge (around 8pm) and then sailed under a full moon as it made it's way up the bay. It so motivated us, we booked the RS on the GOS sailing of 8/10/07! lololo Mark & Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
