9/2/12: Went to the pool then rode complimentary bikes to Galena for groceries and to a local firehouse fundraising all you could eat breakfast. Very yummy! We picked up a few things at the market & headed back. Glad we made a good morning of it since it rained all afternoon. After it cleared up we had an ice cream sundae supper, my favorite. We met a couple here for repairs (John & Joanne. Very nice and shared alot of knowledge related to the intercoastal waterway. We ordered a part (bilge pump) for the boat so we'll hang out at least til Wed. and let the remnants of Issac blow through.

9/1/12: Labor Day weekend in Maryland! Hot & humid and it's been a great pool day and Kitty Knight again!

8/31/12: On a very reasonable mooring, inexpensive compared to up north.

8/30/12: Departed early for the Sassafrass River. Very pretty River with cliffs with birds and older homes & farms. Prior to entering the Sassafrass we went by the Aberdeen Proving Ground. We could hear & see smoke from the stuff the Army was blowing up. We decided due to the hot/humid forecast we would head for a marina with a pool. We hit the jackpot with Georgetown Yacht Basin. Tom was happy the Kitty Knight House was half price dinners for seniors! Great dinner:-)




8/29/12: Headed down the rest of the C & D canal and headed to Havre De Grace. Anchored in front of the Old Comfort Point Lighthouse. We walked the boardwalk and a long way to get groceries. We rewarded ourselves with homemade ice cream from a nice shop. It was difficult to get ashore and anything was a hike. Disappointing:-(










8/28/12: Stayed another night, Tom is enjoying all the goings on at the homemade houseboat near us. We met a couple that came in & anchored from Michigan (Jeff & Mary) they shared all their adventures coming thru the Great Lake locks.

8/27/12: We went throug the C&D (Chesapeake & Delaware Canal with a favorable current. We stopped in a quaint area off the canal called Chesapeake City. Good anchorage for R & R and cleaning.
