9 December 2009 - Day #7. The barometer is down 30mb--that's a lot. To ride out the gale we're taking refuge in the very protected waters of the Dismal Swamp. Halfway through the canal's 30 mile length is a nice one boat dock with our name on it. You're allowed to stay on the dock 24 hours but since we're special, and, oh yea, no one's around, we hung out for two days. Boat projects, long walks, and a dingy excursion up to Lake Drummond occupy us fully. Docked at the intersection of the Drummond feeder canal and the Dismal Swamp. 0nm today and 159nm total. DBH
