The Sassafras River

We left Chesapeake City late morning on Friday and sailed to the Sassafras River. Motored eight miles to Georgetown, MD and pulled into a slip at The Georgetown Yacht Basin. We needed to have our fresh water replenished; mainly to give Kismet a good wash and to do laundry. After dinner on the boat, we went to The Kitty Knight House for dessert and live music. During the war of 1812, when the British were burning MD, Kitty Knight used her beauty and charms to convince General Cockburn to spare her house. Apparently she was successful, and her home was spared; the only one in Georgetown! Our waitress told us that Kitty was really a "lady of the night" and her spirit is still often present. On Saturday, we left Georgetown in the afternoon and sailed/mot0red to Still Pond. Jim challenged the depths near the banks of the Sassafras; and we temporarily planted the bow into mud! We spent a very peaceful night in Still Pond with 10 other boats.
