10 Mar - Day #6. We spend the morning at anchor off Hospital Point finishing the final details on the Garmin HD Radar install. Our 75' of chain looks like a mud sausage coming up. We motor over to Tidewater marina and take on 140g. The cruising goes well until we reach the Gilmerton Bridge. The railroad bridge right next to it goes down as we approach. It stays down for 90 minutes. We just anchored and waited. The wait was only 45 minutes for the lock which marks the beginning of the Dismal Swamp. Made it to the S. Mills, NC warf just before dark. 32nm today; 164nm total. DBH
