One Eyed Dining

We woke up Monday to fabulous weather, low 80’s, no humidity, no bugs, lovely sunshine. John and Don worked furiously getting the boat ready and organized while Debbie and I organized not so furiously in the galley and heads. We cruised a short two hours early afternoon arriving in Baltimore around 4:00.  After checking in we sat on the upper salon and had a cocktail, then walked to Fells Point for dinner. We chose a restaurant/bar called ‘One-Eyed Mikes’ in honor of Rick Knauf who apparently has the nick-name “One-Eyed Rick”. Unbeknownst to me, (and maybe you?) when it wasn’t sooo illegal to drink and drive, some people would  throw back a few and then drive with one eye closed as their vision wouldn’t blur and with one eye one can see ‘straight’. Not that Rick was driving drunk to get that nickname, I think he was just once seen quite drunk and was given the name from that one evening long ago and it stuck. After dinner we walked around Fells Point and checked out the bohemian, artsy, city scene which was surprisingly hopping on a Monday night.
