Aug 3/4- We headed for the blue line at 8:00 am to get in line to go over the Big Chute. There was one boat waiting in front of us but they called us to go over first, so away we went. We told Bill and Bobbie we would meet them in Midland as it was going to be awhile for them to get over. We got to Port Severn and it was quite busy. They had just loaded the lock so we got on the blue line and waited for the next lock. By the time it got back up to the top Mist had arrived and we managed to get them on the dock to wait. We went through next, but with all the other boats that were there it took Mist about and hour or two to be called. They were not impressed by the lack of organization at Port Severn lock. We got to Midland at noon and were surprised to see another old family friend on the same dock. We noticed the dock was full and we still had Mist and Miss Hattie coming in that had reservations so we quickly told the people in charge and they moved two boats to another dock in short order. Mist arrived about an hour after us and Miss Hattie was about three hours, we were beginning to worry about them. It was very hot so every one just vegged out in their own boats in the air conditioning. The next day Dave and I ventured uptown in the stifling heat to get a couple of things and then right back to the boat. Bill and Bobbie are leaving us to head home so they have asked us to have a last dinner with them. The restaurant is right next to the marina and it was quite busy but we got right in and the service was fast. We had a wonderful last night with great friends that we are going to miss terribly. We have traveled with Mist since Daytona Beach almost four months and have loved every minute.
