Elizabeth City, NC

Paul and Trina.


We spent the night at Pelican Marina in Elizabeth City, NC.  We had rain and wind during the night.  It quit raining in the morning, and at 11:30, we had a cab pick up the four of us and drive us cross the river to the downtown area.  We ate lunch in town and walked over to the city marina where we ran into Paul and Trina, who we met at Whittaker Pointe Marina. There was also 2 FABRIC stores side by side, so I was in fabric heaven.  Just as the wind started to blow again, we called the cab and made it back to the boat right as the rain really started coming down.  We plan o leaving tomorrow morning and heading for the Dismal Swamp.  We have a swing bridge right away that opens on at 8:30 and 9:30 in the early part of the morning.  Then we have a lock 16 miles from the swing bridge that opens at 11:00.  We are planning on spending the night at the Welcome Center.  I hope there will be room for us there.
