    Yes the shirt says Florida, but we are in Baltimore, and our guests Gina and Andy came from Glasgow Scotland to do a little house hunting as they will be moving to the states in the near future. We thank them for sharing 5 days aboard La Bella Vita over the 4th of July holiday.Enjoying an afternoon cocktail at the mouth of the Knapps Narrows on Tilghman Island.
    Its tough looking at this every night but we will save you a glimps of a spectacular sunset while we have cocktails on the back deck.
