As we say goodby to Florida, we say Hello to Maryland. We departed Beaufort SC this morning at 6:30AM, and arrived in Abell at 3:30PM. An uneventful trip, just long. Sherry began immediately unloading, and I attacked the grass. It was knee high, and damp, but I got it done. Billy and Kelly came by and we visited or a bit. They just got their boat in the water, and it is all set up for Rock, so we look forward to some time off at the end of the month to get out on the river with them. They are a very sweet couple, and we really enjoyed visiting. The Locust Trees are in bloom, which means that the Rock are in the river! After the Junior Sonntag's left, we drove over to the Senior Sonntag's and visited a bid. Ms.Emmy looked very nice tonight, and Capt.Bill seems none the worst for ware. We took over fruit (oranges, grapefruits and bananas) and had a pleasant time catching up on the family. Back home we showered in some really soft water, and now it is time for the bed.

Welcome to Maryland !
