What looks like the USS Anzio (CG-68) just flew past here in
Chesapeake Beach a bit faster than the posted speed limit for the Bay
I think. Not sure if it is headed to Baltimore or Annapolis (I think
it is parent's weekend this weekend) Definitely an AEGIS cruiser of
some sort, but it was hard to get the number (looked like 68 from
here).
On the way it passed a frigate that is also heading North, though
much slower. This looks like a 3-masted ship making its way on
engines (slight breeze today). About 100-150 feet in length. Not
sure where that is headed.
That's about it. The NEST helicopter buzzed around earlier, but that
is now a weekly event out here.
Not much on the Marine Radio. Might here more when it gets up by
Annapolis and more traffic.
