I looked up Parson's Island and found and found this blog - apparently it became an island relatively recently? <br /><br />"Land records going back over 350 years indicate Parson’s “Island” was once Parson’s “Point”. Erosion brought on by centuries of tide and weather split the property from mainland Kent Island by 1865. McCormick & Company bought the island in 1944 for use as an experimental spice farm. For many years Parson’s Island was utilized as a company retreat for hunting and fishing and making plans to rule spice world." -from: https://easternshorebrent.com/2014/04/11/chester-md-kent-islands-eastern-shore/Chris Smeadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13323447421678802748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5137810012036013226.post-5230955507680089652021-11-09T08:40:31.398-05:002021-11-09T08:40:31.398-05:00Steve, I'm always inspired by your willingness...Steve, I'm always inspired by your willingness to let the light wind days take you where they will. In this case, to beautiful Dividing Creek. Every time I've ever gotten into trouble on a sailboat, it's been because of trying to "make time" to some fixed destination. Nowadays, with your pernicious influence, I try to remind myself "Relax, take it all in, let the wind take you." Thank you!Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14764536449084086010noreply@blogger.com
