<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The Pride of Baltimore</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
During the war of 1812, The American fleet was being overcome because of it's small size by the larger and much more powerful British fleet. The US Navy issued letters to private ship owners allowing the boats to act as 'privateers' or 'legal pirates' representing the United States. These ships were allowed to Prey on the merchant fleet of what they considered to be the Belligerent nation of Great Britain.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
One of the most famous of these privateers was Captain Thomas Boyle who sailed his Baltimore clipper, the Chasseur out of Fells Point where she had been launched from the shipyard in 1812. He sailed her directly east to the British Isles where the captain harassed the British Merchant fleet. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He sent a notice to the King by way of a captured merchant vessel that he released for the purpose of Posting a note on the door of Lloyds of London, the famed shipping underwriters. He declared that the British Isles were under Naval Blockade by the Chasseur ALONE! This sent the shipping community into panic and they demanded the British Admiralty recall the vessels that were blockading the American Ports to protect the merchant ships. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In retaliation for the actions of the Baltimore Privateers, the British Launched a campaign into the Chesapeake Bay to "Clean out that nest of Pirates in Baltimore". The goal was to shut down the production of the Deadly Baltimore Clippers. While they were at it they burned the Capitol and the White House.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The bombardment of Fort McHenry was epic as the British attempted to enter the Inner Harbor where the shipyards were building the boats. But Fort McHenry held and in the dawn of the day Frances Scott Key spotted the Huge Flag flying over the Fort. And the poem went down in history as the National Anthem penned on the back of an envelope.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The fleet of Topsail Schooners being built in the Canton Harbors of Baltimore were Quick, Manuverable and Deadly. They sank some 1700 British Merchant vessels during the 2.5 year war. A replica of The Chasseur sails today in the Baltimore Harbor past Fort McHenry as the Pride of Baltimore II.</div>

Attempting to trap Jesus, the phrasees came to Him with a cripple man unable to walk. They asked for who's sin is this man punished by his disability, his own or his parents. And Jesus said, neither... But so that you could witness the glory of god. And he reached out and touched the man who immediately stood up and began dancing and praising god.<br />
<br />
There is no fathomable reason for the natural and subsequent cascade of disasters happening in Japan. But it does offer an opportunity for each of us to demonstrate our human compassion to one another. So let your light so shine among men. Let your light so shine.<br />
<br />
And that is all I have to say on that...<br />

The friendly folks from the <a href="http://www.schiffsratten.de/">Schiffsratten Yacht Club (SRYC)</a> waved me down and wanted to have a look at the new boat. I was happy to oblige. Such beautiful people. And we had so much fun! Silber Sands, Jeremia Spotter, Krysha Lundquist and at the last Dahral Huet. We sailed and sailed thru many SIM borders. We laughed and made a party out of it. Then we stopped, and walked around on the deck, Opened the Cooler and Fished for awhile off the side. A very peaceful conclusion for a memorable evening. Thank you SO much to Silber Sands who was thoughtful enough to preserve those moments with some <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/silbersands/5518719185/">spectacular photos which she posted at this site</a>.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
