Dismal Swamp Welcome Center

We had a great day slow cruising the Pasquotank River to the Dismal Swamp canal. Locked thru solo while chatting with the lock tender who was very friendly. We were told we were the only ones in the swamp canal although at least one other boat was expected to lock thru at 3:30 (3 did). We are now on the Welcome Center dock for the night and may stay here tomorrow so we can check out the state park. There’s one other boat on the dock with us. The other two boats were going straight thru tonight. Moki and I walked a portion of the Dismal Swamp Trail tonight. It’s super pretty and connected to the Welcome Center. We got sprinkled on which felt good. Chance of a storm tonight. We’ll see. James had his best day of the trip. He’s in his element! 58 miles total today and docked by 3pm. Secchi here .3 in 2.1 meters.Read more
