We have the first day of fall cruising under our belts traveling 45 miles - what a day!!! Mark returned the rental car, we unpacked all our stuff and left Cobb's Marina at 10:00 It took us 2.5 hours to go around Norfolk, but saw so many Naval shipyards and ships.
The Dismal Swamp is the oldest operating artificial waterway in the US, completed in 1805 (12 years after it was started). It's also rich in history and folklore and after going thru Deep Creek Lock, we were officially in the Dismal Swamp and for 22 miles we meandered down the canal to thee most spectacular fall scenery...non-stop brilliant orange, red, gold and bronze-leafed trees. Fall in its prime with us here in Virginia's Dismal Swamp (dismal it was NOT)!!!

Tonight we are at Arbuckle Landing (Chesapeake, VA) - one dock (but a very nice dock) about 8 miles from the end of this beautiful journey. It's just us and nature in all her glory!
Happy to be back cruisin'....
