You are talking about DEALE.
This is an island, different spelling, on the Eastern Shore not too far from Smith Is. There is a cluster of islands around there, and Deal is more inland.
But I guess I can see someone having trouble if things aren’t just right. Just seemed that there weren’t that many miles to any shore.
Got it. Thanks for the correction.Having said that,5 hours to shore over there? Also no mention of life jackets, flares, radio etc.etc. which are required these days.
