The Sassafrass

(view of the bridge on a beautiful, sunny afternoon)

On Thursday sv Mary Elizabeth left the dock for the first time in a long time. Bill and I realized how much we miss the water!!! We had a nice ride to Georgetown, MD where Dave and Molly are. Thursday night we had a great dinner at the Kitty Knight House. Friday we hung around for most of the day. Bill and Dave did some planning with the charts for our eventual trip south via the ICW. Mary Elizabeth's mast height is 63 and a half feet, so they were devising a route that will keep us away from bridges that we won't fit under. I read Glass Castle, which is a fabulous book that I borrowed from Molly.

Friday night we went to Five Keys after a yummy dinner of steak and chicken on the grill. Dave, Frank and Bill played Yahtzee. Dave is the newly reigning champ of the Sassafrass.

The Sassafrass River is stunning. The trees have yet to turn, but it is certainly colder - especially at night and in the early morning. What a beautiful place.

So now we are underway en route to Rock Hall. Mary Elizabeth will be hauled on Monday and have work done while we are in Florida. Tomorrow we are going to the Redskins. We'll stay in Baltimore overnight (in a hotel at the airport). We'll be back in Annapolis on Oct. 8th.
