Elizabeth City North Carolina to Portsmouth Virginia is the last leg of the Intracoastal Waterway and the entrance to the Dismal Swamp. Where the heck do you get a name like that! Lots and Lots of history here. The 40 or so mile long canal was dug by slaves and shovels in 1805. Many died from snakes bites and such. It is a crazy place for an ocean going sailboat that drafts 5.5 feet of water when it is 7 only or feet deep...or less in spots as we bumped a few times. It is like a trip up the Amazon River...I Think!
Lorrie got the whole rose bush for mother's day in Elizabeth City
Great place with a free dock, oh and a pretty girl!
Into the Amazon!!!!
Lilliy pads galore!
I double dawg dare you to get off the boat!
A crappy picture for sure but check out the turtles sunning themselves
Superintendents house...maybe he should cut the grass and trim the lilly pads a bit!
At times there was only a "slot" in the overhanging tree canopy to fit Godspeeds mast through!
