LOOK WHAT THE TIDE BROUGHT IN!

One of the best parts of living at Westminster Canterbury on Chesapeake Bay is the changing seascape that greets you from windows and balconies. What an adventure it is to get yourself some binoculars and check out the passing parade of naval vessels, tankers, cargo ships, cruise liners, tugs, fishing vessels and pleasure craft. It gets even better if you go online and look up www.marinetraffic.com. 
You'll see a map, which shows our coastline with icons representing all the different types of vessels. Click on one, and up comes a picture of the vessel, where it's bound, and its nation of origin. Try it! Take a look at what amounts to a view that changes by the month, the day, the hour! www.marinetraffic.com
