Elle:

Ask Captain Crawford how long such  a trip should take by water.  I
believe it took him two days from  Edenton to the middle Cheasapeake.

All your panic  and Captain Meltzer had some important information. 
Again, you are  listening to rookies, not the voices of experience.  This is
not  watching television, that is just turn on the the program is there.  
Commodore Spiters will solve all your problems.  So much so that Rose  will
probably wonder what is going on.

You mean that you are not going to take the motor if it is not hooked
up to  your fancy?   In a foreward direction just leave the motor  putting
along slowly and straight ahead.  Steer with the  rudder.




Elle, Ed - Since you asked, it was an 8 day trip from Edenton to Rock Hall  - 
made it to Elizabeth City, then on to the Dismal Swamp visitors' center 
(where  Stan and Rose visited us by land).  Norfolk on the third day and then 5  
more days up the Bay - a great experience, with a variety of conditions and  
interim destinations (Tangier Island and Solomons being our favorites after the  
Dismal Swamp Canal, where locking in and out is great fun).
