Georgetown

Georgetown MD, N 39 21.825 W 075 53.534, June 21 2006

We came up this creek looking for a place to get a mooring and to get a rental car. The choices are here on the Eastern Shore or Havre De Grace on the Western Shore.

It took me until today to get the new computer working with the SSB radio. The hang up was a driver for the USB to Serial adapter device I have inline. When I installed it, Windows kept asking to search the Internet for a driver. I don't have a net connection out here. I was stymied until I found a CD ROM with the driver in my archives. Whew.

When we got here I reserved a mooring for next week, and also a rental car. I was shocked at the price of the car. Last year I rented a car from Enterprise at Jacksonville for $18/day. Now they want to charge me $60/day from a nearby town. Not much I can do about it, Enterprise is the only one who will pick me up from the marina which is about 35 miles from the rental office.

Met a couple of cruisers from Scotland in the harbor. They've been cruising for 3 years including one year in the Mediterranean. I asked if they ever heard of the village of Tarwathie in Scotland. Alas, they said, "No."
