We decided to take the Virginia Cut instead of the Dismal Swamp..mostly because the thought of mosquitoes and no-see-ums but also because our friends Denise and Ladd's boat Blue has a draft of 6' 3". It was nice to see the other alternative that many of our cruiser friends have taken.
We saw so many osprey nests that Jon started rating them and saying if they were well made or just a little skimpy. Some of the babies were as big or bigger than the moms and some looked very little.
We stayed the night at a free dock in between the Great Bridge and the Great Bridge Lock. It was nice and a lot of people took advantage of the canal to fish and crab. We walked about two blocks up to a wonderful Mexican Restrauant where Denise introduced me to Carnitas. They are chunks of wonderful pork, slow cooked just likey mom would cook with tortias, salsa and guacamole They give you sides of the best rice and refried beans that I've ever tasted. Jon says we had more Mexican food in the last month then we've had in our whole life. That's true...but it's so good.
Next stop Norfolk where will rest a couple of days.
Several of the many Osprey nests that we saw akin the Virginia Cut.
A home a long the River.,seems like the middle of no where.

There were Geese with their goslings at Great Bridge
So cute
Mom and dad always had a good eye on them. If they stopped walking the goslings all sat down on cue.
