It's 7:30am and we are all ready to leave the Dismal Swamp Welcome Center. It's so pretty here I don't think anyone wants to leave this morning. We have to be at a bridge opening by 11:30am
All you could smell today was honeysuckle scent. Both sides where bushes hanging with full blossoms. Every once in a while I could smell laurel, bunches of pink flowers. It's just so beautiful and quite here.
Bob on Illusion rafted up with us as we were all waiting for the bridge. Sailor went over to visit Bob. The Bridge Tender opened the bridge early today. There were no new North bound boats that enter the other locks this morning. Sailor keep going other to Bob's boat, he almost was traveling with Bob before we pushed off. I just saw him out of the corner of my eye..... Sailor get over here!
Bridge opened at 11:15am.
Going into the lock.
Mystic Rose behine us.
Of course I had to write on this wall too.
leaving the lock and heading to Norfolk VA
Coming out of the Dismal Swamp you come right into the industrial part of Virginia. This is the first bridge we went through.
Then we went through this railroad bridge. It was about a hour before we arrived at Waterside marina around 1:30pm. Of course, the wind now is blowing 25knots and we are all trying to get into slips. We all did it with a lot of dock hands.
Around 7pm we walk ed to the FreeMason Abby for dinner. This used to be a church built in 1873. We had a wonderful dinner.
Us and Tom and Diann on Noah Genda and also Chuck and kathy
The stain glass window was cracked and sent out for repair. We ate dinner on the second floor
It was a very enjoyable night. If your ever in Norfolk you have to check this place out.
