Into the Dismal Swamp and out again......

Goodbye to the north.......hello to warmer weather we hope!

Nice water, right?


We tried a new anchorage at the top of the Alligator River called Little Alligator River (cute, huh?!)  It seems like its 7 feet deep everywhere and we had a beautiful, quiet night.  Just before sunset a John boat with two guys in camo pulled up to say hi.  They said that they have the camp nearby and it was built in the 70's before squatting became illegal.  They fish and hunt all the time and there are just 7 camps on the whole river.  They are built on the shore but actually are on pilings above the water.

The fishing/hunting camp














A couple of nights ago we pulled into Slade Creek one year and a day after we went there last year to hide from Hurricane Sandy.  It was cool that Elle & I, one of the 4 boats from last year were already anchored.  It's a small, small world for sure.  They even recognized us too!

Slade Creek and "Elle & I"

Like last year we'll do River Dunes Marina for laundry, provisioning and cleaning.  Then maybe we'll try to get outside if the weather cooperates.
