here is the dismal, so peaceful, beautiful & quiet. the width was only 50ft, like going down a creek.
As of today we are in the chesepeake bay, waiting for our friends to catch up with us. We had a great cruise threw the Dismal Swamp. we tied up at the visitors center and had 2 others rafted on us. As it is the boats are here in Deltaville with us at anchor. We finally got to go into town this trip. The town is pretty spread out but a good two mile walk was great. A local gave us aride, then we walked back. Had a great day!!
I have to go back to yesturday when we decided to cruise up here the winds at 15-20 gust to 25, and we took a beating for 3hrs of the 6. Just before our turn to come into the bay we hit a wave so hard the pins come out of the davet for the dingy. What a wave thank god we were able to get the pins back in and head in at a speed of 6-8mi. I felt like a sail boat riding the waves. they called for 3-4ft all of that plus. Wonder if it will be any better tomorrow as we are heading to Solomons. Rain is forcast for the afternoon will see. I can't wait to see my friend from the post office. She was a savior for finding my mail 3yrs ago, then invited us over for dinner. Such good people. The sky is looking great a red sky is a salors delight, so we are off tomorrow..
