Our Dock and the "Happy Happy" Ocean Pines, MD 1976





The Keith's on our dock in Ocean Pines, Maryland. This canal leads to the Saint Martins River, a short ride up the tidal river and under the first Route 90 bridge into the Assawoman Bay, up the bay side Ocean City Channel (to avoid sand bars) under the Route 50 draw bridge into the OC inlet to the Atlantic, cross the inlet to the bay side of Asseteuge Island to chase wild ponies, build beach bon-fires and surf deserted beaches, fish for flounder and sea trout and bring them home for Mom to cook, water ski the cove at the end of Saint Martins at sunset to get the perfect glass (calm water), this would be a typical summer day for J and me as teenagers. We grew up on the water, literally. What a great way to grow up. Thanks Dad. He commuted on weekends from DC to share in the family fun.


This was Karen's last summer. There's not much else to say.
