Deep Creek Lock on the Dismal Swamp Canal to Chesapeake Yachts in Virginia

We were up early to make the 0830 lockage at the north end of the Dismal Swamp Canal. We only had to go three miles north of the lock to reach Chesapeake Yachts Ship Yard. The yard had a long face dock that we eased up to and were secured by 1030. The yard was huge, it was nearly a quarter mile walk to the office. Kim, at the office, said that they had already called the prop service. Troy Erb, owner of Wildcat Propellers picked up the damaged prop about 1430. He said he thought he could complete the job by Friday afternoon. I changed the Lehman’s injection pump oil (3420 hours).

We cooked pork chops, carrots, rice and gravy for dinner. It was a fine meal.
