If you can't get enough of Maryland Lighthouses during the Sept 15-16 event, you can start out your weekend with an afternoon in Annapolis and on the water of Chesapeake Bay.

The Chesapeake Chapter of the USLHS has arranged a 3 hour boat tour (no, Gilligan is not going to be aboard).

You'll see Thomas Point, Sandy Point and Baltimore. Begins at 2:00 pm, returns by 5:00 pm. $55 per person includes light refreshments and drinks (cash bar).

Visit http://www.cheslights.org/challenge.htm and scroll down about half way for more details. Make your reservations directly with the cruise company.

The ship can accomodate up to 150.

The next morning you can start off the challenge at Sandy Point which is the only one of the three included in the 5th Annual Maryland Challenge.
