[Rhodes22-list] Crossing the Chesapeake

[KUHN, LELAND]

Chris,
 
Glad to see you have your priorities in order.
 
I'm amazed at how many non-islanders frequent Kentmore.  Good food and different atmosphere but it seems so out-of-the-way by boat or car.  Slip fees were the best I found around here with direct access to the Chesapeake.

This was a tough week for me.  In addition to my 9 hour crab cake 
lunch Friday I had a four hour lunch with my dad in his 32 foot twin 
diesel legacy from Annapolis to kentmore.  His boat goes faster.
