ooooooooohhhhhhh The Great Dismal Swamp!!!!

Early (for us anyways) in the morning we pulled anchor and headed south into the Dismal Swamp.  We know for fact that we are the first F-33 going through it.

Heading to the first lock!
Leaving Hospital Pt anchorage

The swamp is something quite interesting and there seems to be times when it would be not too much fun in a trimaran but we had calm winds and sunny skies, although rather cool in the mornings and at night.  First conceived in the 1700's it is now mostly used by pleasure craft and is 22 miles long with two locks.  LOCKS??!!  Oh no......


Plenty of room!!

Don't let go of that line!!
