On Sunday we returned our Avis rental car (Agency is not located on the airport proper), and took the shuttle to the airport. We were having coffee at the airport waiting for our friends Beth & Jerry Frishman to pick us up to go visit their house for brunch. We decided it was too way to much to ask them to drive 45 minutes one-way to the airport and back to their house and then an hour+ to get us back to our boat in Pasadena. We decided to take the shuttle back to the car rental and rent another car for another day. Obviously we were not thinking or we never would have turned it in! Our portable GPS is a life saver but the car we were assigned did not have either 12v lighter working so it was a walk back to the office for another car! Did I mention the first car we were assigned on Saturday was missing from its parking place so back to the office to get another one! What an ordeal!
It was a cloudy day but the ride was through scenic wooded areas to Frishman’s beautiful home. We have not seen each other for a couple of years so everyone had a lot to say. We met 16 year old son Chad and 13 yr daughter Jordan. What a delightful family. Additionally two other family members welcomed us at the door. These two are so cute and friendly, rescued from the local humane society.
Thank you Jerry & Beth for a wonderful time and especially to you Beth for the spectacular brunch. Jerry, a professional photographer, snapped some great pictures while we were there. These happen to be our amateur images, however. Also, Beth was so gracious to send so much food with us back to the boat. It was a pleasant experience this morning enjoying breakfast from yesterday's brunch. Beth, thank you so much, what a true delight.
Today we were up at the break of daylight and headed out on the "Bay" to finish our northern cruise of the Chesapeake. We chose MM "0", Chesapeake City to stay the night at the free City Dock. Chesapeake City looks like a cute little town. I think we will hop on our bikes and do our tour. Neat little community loaded with history. This (14) mile C&D canal built in 1822, hand dug by 2,600 men connects Philadelphia and Baltimore through the Deleware River and the Chesapeake Bay. This link deleted 300 miles off a ship's route to navigate these two bodies of water. The 450' wide canal is maintained at it's present 35' depth. This canal carries 40% of all shipping traffic between Philadelphia and Baltimore.
Hello to the crew of Noah Genda! You two look like you're having a lot of fun! Miss you, Alex and Cindy
