Thursday, September 25, 2008 - Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center, NC

It started raining and the wind velocity increased to 30 t0 40 knots around 0300. It continued to rain off and on all day. At 1000 Dora and Kathy went with Tom and Linda in their rental car to do laundry and some shopping. Dick and I went over to Gene and Kathy’s boat to help Gene trouble shoot a problem that has developed with their house battery bank. Later, I changed the oil in the Lehman’s injection pump and tightened the belts on the 200 amp alternator.

After dinner we had Dick, Libby, Gene and Kathy over to play a word game called Balderdash (or something like that). We talked about our plans for tomorrow. The consensus was to leave early enough to make the 0900 lock opening at the Mill Creek lock and then motor the 17 miles to Elizabeth City and anchor just north of the highway bridge.
