Thursday 4th Sept - A relaxing day in Media

With no specific activities planned, we had a slow start to the day before heading out late morning to Bill' Company's warehouse/office location at Marcus Hook beside the Delaware river. It was a beautiful morning and BJ, (Marian and Bill's eldest son) took us out on one of their supply motor boats for a cruise up river. The contrast between the industrial Philadelphia shore and the unspoilt Jersey shore was quite marked and it was interesting to note the conical 'ice breaker' piers installed over 100 years ago to break up the ice as the tide rose and fell. After a tour of the smart new office building we went our separate ways, Christine and Marian to buy provisions for the sailing weekend and Mike to just 'cruise' the area which we had known so well up to 11 years ago! We met back at the house and chilled away the remains of the day in the pool followed by a barbecue.
