11 Mar - Day #7. We make the 0830 lock at the south end of the Dismal Swamp. Only one other boat locks with us. See 30kts on the way into Elizabeth City, NC. Docking at the free town docks was made very 'interesting' by 20kt beam winds. The mayor, Steve Atkinson, personally welcomed us (we're the second cruiser to arrive this year) and gets a tour of Nellie. He's looking for a trawler. 25nm day; 191nm total. DBH
