May 5th, Day 8 -
Change of plans! We decided to move Rickshaw closer to the pavilion and stay another night! So after watching the kinetic parade we moved Rickshaw to within 30 yards of the concert!! We ate lunch in Little Italy (delicious seafood lasagna), did a little shopping then did some people watching from the aft deck. People like to stop and ask us questions about Rickshaw, where we are from and where we are going.
May 4th, Day 7 –
Change of plans! We woke up thinking we were headed to Annapolis from Rock Hall, but decided instead to go to Baltimore and spend two nights – Friday & Saturday - before going to Annapolis. If we delay Annapolis by two days we are hoping our friends Ron and Anita, on A Vita, will catch up with us there. The trip
across the bay was short – 26nm –and uneventful. There aren’t any places to anchor and be close to the activities in Baltimore Harbor so we spent the first night on the outside dock of a marina directly across from the waterfront entertainment district. We had seen on the internet that there was a kinetic parade (no motor, just petal power) on Saturday morning near our marina but we were excited when we heard Lynyrd Skynyrd was playing at the pavilion, down the harbor, just 400 yards from our slip! But we were disappointed to learn that Chicago is playing on Sunday night – the day we leave.
As soon as we docked we jumped on our bikes to check out the area. We found a fresh market mall and bought some salmon and shaved ham. Then we pedaled thru the entertainment area and by the pavilion – we noticed that it is possible to dock just feet from where Chicago will be playing........

 View of downtown Baltimore from the aft deck in the marina Friday night.  We saw this bike float several hours later across town.  Our new dock for the Chicago concert - |  A bike float in the parade  Several of the floats had a Cinco de Mayo theme.  Tall ships and antique cars on the docks at sunset in Baltimore Harbor |
