On Friday, September 17, we took the water taxi down to the inner harbor with Bob and Lynn to tour The US Coast Guard Barque Eagle, America's Tallship, and to see Michelle, an OCS, who was cruising on the ship. She is the daughter of Dave and Laurie, friends who also have an Ocean Alexander. Eagle's length is 295', beam is 39', draft fully loaded is 16' with a sail area of 22,227 feet! The Eagle cruised down from New London, CT for a three day weekend in Baltimore. Fortunately, we went Friday as we understand the lines were incredibly long over the weekend. Michelle joined us for dinner J. Paul's in the Pavilion next to the Eagle and gave us more insight into what really goes on aboard the huge ship.
