Georgetown sunset

September 21,

On the 18^th we had winds up to 39 knots and buckets of rain for a few hours. The anchor held and all is well.

The 19^th we moved and anchored again near the Plantation. We dinged in and walked the 2 mile beautiful tree lined dirt road from the Plantation out to the main road. We are out in the middle of nowhere. Nothing but corn and soybean fields all around. We brought our binoculars’ and did some bird watching. We identified about 20 birds, 2 of which were new ones for us. One was a Magnolia Warbler and the other was a Veery Thrush.

Thursday the 20^th we up anchored and went into the town anchorage. There were 3 Canadian boats there. We met one family with 2 children that reminded me of when we went with our boys. We dinged into town. Found a place for lunch then walked 2 miles to the small grocery store. Three of the boats were there stocking up. On the way back we had 2 cars stop and offer us a ride, which we declined. It was nice to stretch our legs.  As we got back to town we got a call from the engine repair shop. The engine is fixed! You know b o a t means, break out another thousand. Costly but we can now move at more than a snails pace with our dinghy. We had a beautiful sun set that evening.

Friday 21^st we have moved out of town and back down the river. Anchored off a nice beach. Hope to go for another walk at the Plantation and a swim later. We will be here until the next low blows through on Saturday night then make our way over to the south side of the river heading to Baltimore.
