Aboard “Salty Spouse” at Plaindealing creek, Tred Avon River, MD
It took us 3 weeks to get here. The following are changes we noted along the way:
- At Alligator River Marina, the air conditioned lounge TV is now hooked up to a dish antenna, so instead of only one channel, you get a major selection. Still cold water wash machines and morning newspaper, however. You still have to follow your eyes, not your chartplotter at the mouth of the Alligator River!
- At Deep Creek on the Dismal Swamp Canal, the propane fill station at the hardware store is gone! The store is closed.
- At Jackson Creek, Deltaville, green 5 and red 6 markers have been replaced with buoys. the channel is still OK, but stay a bit wide of both green 7 & 9 to avoid the inner edge of the shoal. Deltaville Marina still offers their vehicle for an hour to go into town for a buck.
- The mouth of the Potomac is still rough, sorry
- Woodburns Grocery at Slomons have made a major rearrangement of their food displays – cheeses are where the veggies were, etc., but they still have a wide variety of upscale items.
- There’s major construction going on at the LNG dock at Cove Point, but the security zone size4 has not been changed.
Reef early, Scott & Inza
