again we were off the hook at first light and headed out to catch the bridge opening at 8:00
security on guard of a ship being built
the red line is floats and nets surrounding all the boats in the harbour, so enemy divers can't get at the Navy boats , while they are at the dock
this bridge is open, and about 5 boats are leaving, marinas etc to head out for the ICW
we just made the Gilmerton Bridge, by seconds, the siren was ringing as we just approached, next opening was in 1/2 hour …
entering the Great Dismal Swamp, it is about 30 feet wide at the entrance, and can be easily missed,
the Virginia Cut is right beside, and it is for boats that the mast is too high and over 6 ft draft, and this canal is for commercial traffic
trees are changing colour and lots of leaves in the water
luck was with us again, Deep Creek Lock was running behind schedule and the doors were open when we rounded the corner
it was time to get out of our survival suits, the heat of the day was upon us, and this is only 8:45 am
