We are making progress. Yesterday we left the marina and found the bay with 25 knot winds, gusting to 40. The seas were like a washing machine and we were small fish. The boat loved it and so did the captain. The crew did not get sick so everyone was happy. The two boats that followed us across the bay got hammered and there were great stories about the crossing over drinks later that night. We have a companion boat from Annapolis, SamJam with George and Jim on board.
Today we left the bay and headed down the ICW A.KA. The Dismal Swamp. Some refer to it as the "ditch". It is about 50-75 feet wide and surrounded by trees turning colors. It is beyond words for beautiful. The weather is great today and we are taking lots of pictures. We have to go thru two locks "not like Panama" but same principle to get thru the "ditch". We found the North Carolina Vistors Center very friendly and they have internet. Over and Out.

Wow! Talk about a dream come true! Randy and I are about 3-5 years behind you guys, but we're the real sissy's.... we'll be doing it on a motorized version. In the meantime, we'll just enjoy desert boating at Lake Mead. Cocktails anyone???
Have a safe journey and I look forward to your next post!

Hey Guys,
Just got around to reading your blogs. Hope all is well today and that you are having a great adventure.
I see that you have been promising our room to others. This should be interesting when the weather warms up; we'll all want to come then. We can pitch tents on the upper deck I suppose.
Anne, watch out for those hotties (next time take pics & share)! Can't wait to hear some good stories - keep 'em coming :)
Take care,
Laurie
Nice outfit Anne
