The Lap Of Luxury (Cruiser's Standards)
Yesterday we arrived in Georgetown, MD (about 7 miles up the Sassafras River), after driving Kismet into the mud doing some exploring into Turner Creek (whoops! we were on the wrong side of the green marker!) Oh, by the way Captain Jim was at the helm! We did some successful kedging off, but decided to get the heck out of there! Then we arrived at the dock at Georgetown Yacht Basin, alittle abruptly, due to a strong current pushing us sideways. After refueling (since we motored all the way from Long Island), and refilling our water tank (because Jim inadvertently drained most of the water while flushing the watermaker). Because it looked like Jim needed some rest, we decided to pick up a mooring ball. They were offering a "stay 2 days, get a 3rd day free". So for $55.00 we will be here for 3 days. It's a good deal - showers, laundry, launch service, bicycles, kayaks, a beautiful pool, and protection from Earl. It is 97 degrees today, so the pool will be nice.

Seems that YOU could use the rest after trying to make up for Capt. Jim's adventures. Hope the weather mess stays offshore. Shouldn't be much if any storm surge there.
Stay safe, have fun,

p.s. good to have you back on the air again!
Sent you an email while we were in NJ/PA. We are now in Annapolis for the last 1.5 days. Heading back to SC tomorrow. We could have met you in the Sassafras! K&B
Hi Jim and Laurie
This is Larry from Baltimore. We had a nice chat outside the Georgetown Yacht Basin store about travelling the ICW. I snapped a pretty good pic of you boat sailing Sunday down the Chesapeake. Send me your email and I'll forward it to you.
Have a great trip

Jim and Laurie,
I'm sorry to hear about Jim's Mom. A lioness, indeed.
I wish Jim could stop by for a "burner".

Bouys are way over rated. What you need is a shallow draft boat and to stay on the magenta line! We signed our papers today so now all we need is a closing date! Oh, yea, directions out of Sewercuse also!
