Can you see our boat?
Norm and John in the boaters' lounge.
This is part of the floor in the boaters' lounge. Isn't it too cool? I was cold and windy today, but we had a great day! John and I borrowed the courtesy car and drove into Oriental. We went to West Marine, Inland Waterway Provision Company, Brantley Village Restaurant, and the grocery store. We did all of this in 2 hours. We saved a lot of shipping expense.
We decided to have Happy Hour and play cards in the boaters' lounge tonight. We brought our coolers, shrimp and cocktail sauce, pepperoni, cheese, crackers, chips and salsa. We had a wonderful time.
We plan on leaving tomorrow and spending the nght at an anchorage. We hope to make the beginning of the Dismal Swamp the next day, where we hope to stay at a free dock in Elizabethtown. The Dismal Swamp Canal was begun by George Washington in an effort to harvest lumber in the Dismal Swamp. The last lumber harvester ceased operations in 1989. They have recently refurbished the canal by removing the snags and trimming the tree canopy. We are looking forward to this historical waterway and plan on staying overnight at the visitor's center about halfway through.
