Day 47 Correction

I'm going to blame this on the painkiller, but the picture of Pusser's was actually the marina boathouse. Oops. This is the actual Pusser's Bar next to the Marriott - right in the middle next to the big tour boat. You can also see the spire to St Mary's in the mast. Also some clarification on the St. Mary's organist who wrote "Anchors Away" - his name was Hart, a midshipman in the Academy - he wrote the lyrics.  Zimmerman, who was the bandleader at the Academy, composed the music. It was originally the football fight song for the Army - Navy game in 1906. The Navy made some changes in later years and now they are trying to make it the official song of the US Navy. And to quote Paul Harvey - and that's the rest of the story.
