SAIL 250 in Fells Point, Baltimore

JOLLY DOLPHIN arrived in Fells Point on Thursday from the Magothy River, delayed two hours by airshow practice. The USCG Safety Zone dates for practice included Thursday and Friday so passage past Fort McHenry was prohibited from 1200 to 1600.

We anchored about 1/2 NM northeast of the FRANCIS SCOTT KEY, Blue, Red & White buoy and were thrilled to see and hear multiple air display teams practice. This team appears to be the Royal Air Force Red Arrows from the United Kingdom.
