Dismal Swamp to Norfolk, VA – 5/11/06

Up early again today. Many bridges to get to by a certain time. Also a couple of locks on this route. We left Elizabeth City to approach the "Dismal Swamp". It is a swamp area that has a canal that runs though it. It is the oldest continuously operating canal in the U.S.. When it was first started George Washington was one of the owners. Skyler got to experience going up and down the 2 locks. We passed by several train draw bridges and a few swing bridges.

It was a long day but absolutely breathtaking scenery. At 8:00 pm we finally arrived at our marina in Portsmouth, just across from Norfolk, at where we will stay for 3 days.
