9:35 AM Saturday

Was just overflown by a Customs Blackhawk here in Chesapeake Beach 
that flew in off the bay heading toward the West.  What was 
interesting today is the fact when I backtracked the direction of the 
helo I saw, in the distance, the grey silhouette of a warship out in 
the bay.  It's still far away, and the water is distorting my view, 
but I think it's a Arleigh Burke-class destroyer given the shape.  I 
can't be sure--it's pretty far off, heading South toward VA.

Anyway, perhaps they are doing some joint exercises with Customs and 
the Navy today.  I've flipped on the maritime and mil. freqs, but 
nothing interesting yet.
