We're sitting at Elizabeth City at their complementary dock after a days traveling through a swamp. Let me back up, we left Deltaville on Saturday, November 16 about 7 am. We had a light sail and motored most of the way to Norfolk, Virginia. They say it's one of the busiest ports in the United States, but we found it pretty easy to stay out of the way of traffic (unlike NYC where we felt like we couldn't stay out of anyone's way). We dropped anchor about 430 pm at Hospital Point in Norfolk just in time to eat Aaron's meatloaf (his first time making it...was really good...more on our culinary skills in our next entry)
There are rows of battleships and aircraft carriers.as you go into Norfolk
Our friend Temple (we met in Deltaville ) who is staying at the Tidewater Marinia in Norfolk for the winter) took our picture as we left on Sunday.
It look so cool. There is a ship right between the buildings.
The Dismal Swamp was beautiful, even though we missed peak season.
The water in the swamp is the color of strong tea.
Aaron at the helm so Jon and I could relax. "Do not take my picture."
It was interesting that the lock master on the canal also had to go and lift the bridge afterwards.... It wasn't right next door either.
