After three weeks in Annapolis Harbor we finally started heading north again. Sailed 75% of the trip which was really nice. Winds were a bit gusty, bat a bit choppy. Overcast but overall good conditions. Anchored at Ford Landing in the Bohemia River with our buddy boat SV Thaleia. 
On route we saw a tall ship replica of a Swedish vessel:
“Kalmar Nyckel (Swedish for 'Key of Kalmar') was a Swedish ship built by the Dutch[a] famed for carrying Swedish settlers to North America in 1638, to establish the colony of New Sweden. The name Kalmar Nyckel comes from the Swedish city of Kalmar and nyckel meaning 'key' in Swedish. The name was also a tribute to Kalmar Castle which was a symbol of power during the time of the Swedish Empire when Sweden was a military great power. A replica of the ship was launched at Wilmington, Delaware, in 1997.”
