We
set off across the Potomac into the Delmar peninsula. Breakfast
stop at La Platte where we find it partly destroyed
by a tornado this April. 100 businesses destroyed
and 1000 people lost their homes. We return to Rt. 50 where
we started five weeks ago. We decide to make the extra
mile to go coast and back so detour over to the Delaware
Bay to touch the Atlantic more truly at Woodland Bay.
Below we have Peter, Myself, Philip and Kathryn enjoying
a final paddle in the Atlantic, considerably warmer than
the Pacific..
A great achievment - close to 8,000 miles, a little over
a third of our Around the World distance. ( Total 19,100
miles) in 32 days.
Sadly
Julian missed on this one as he took a different
route. We arrive back at David Stonely's in time
for a swim, watch the fledgling ospreys and enjoy
an all American Bar-B-Que. This is the end of the
road. To-morrow the cars are left at the docks and
we board the plane for Sotland. Another wonderful
adventure to remember for the rest of our
life. Many miles travelled, many friends made. We
hope that we will have the opportunity meet many
of you again in Scotland.
An enormous thank you to David and Joyce for
all their wonderful help and hospitality.
