Tuesday, September 23, 2008 - Dismal Swamp Canal Welcome Center, NC

We had a slow day at the Welcome Center. I did some work in the engine room while Dora straightened up the mess from the rough trip the day before. We meet Gene and Kathy on Sutton Creek, a Duffy downeast, and Charley and Mary on Mary Wanderer, a Hunter sailboat.

We walked across a small swing bridge to the west bank of the canal and visited the Dismal Swamp State Park Visitor Center in the afternoon. Around 1700, Kathy, Mary, Gene and Charlie came over for cocktails and we all went out to dinner in Elizabeth City in Charlie and Mary’s rental car. The six of us were really squeezed into the little sub-compact. We had a good meal with food friends.
