MASSEY'S DITCH:

Senator Bunting has contacted me to bring us up to date on the dredging. As of this writing the buoys in the ditch have been placed where they belong marking the new channel that was dredged through the ditch. Buoy #13 at the entrance to Massey's from Rehoboth Bay has been lighted. Dredging and marking has now begun in the Assawoman Bay. Thank you Senator Bunting, I am sure that we all feel safer with this news and hope we have an accident free season. If you experience any difficulties in this area the Senator would like to be advised of the problem. You can contact me here at Bill's Sport Shop and I will forward the information to him.
