Darn isn't this ironic. This is
another port that was only visited while I was aboard the USNS OBSERVATION
ISLAND T-AGM 23. In fact this is the port that we called on right after we left
Port Canaveral in Florida . The only time O.I. went there while I was aboard
was in 1994. This was the port that my relief arrived at. I had rented a car
from Alamo rental car at BWI Air Port and drove home to Florida to collect my
wife and daughter and then we went on a driving tour on up to Nova Scotia to
visit some friends of my wife that had been down that year to Bush Gardens while
I was at sea. I bought my first mobile phone at a Sears there just north of
Baltimore. I think that was the best cell phone service I ever had. When at sea
I could not use it but kept on paying the monthly service for it and the usage
balance just kept on building up until I used it again, however that first bill
was astronomical since I had used it while roaming and had called my Mom from
Peggy's Cove. The Aerial view will be not of the whole port but just centered at
the berth we had tied up at.
