The weather changed from nasty and cold to delightful and warm. In such times we just love being in the Great Dismal Swamp Canal; especially here at the NC Welcome Center.
We feel so secure and tranquil here. The natural beauty is stunning. Today, we're going to borrow the Welcome Center's bicycles and go for an outing on the bike trails.
You can see beautiful arial pictures of this area. Start here, then gradually zoom out. It shows beautiful scenes of the canal, the surrounding farm land and swamp land. Zoom out far enough and you can see the outer banks and the Chesapeake Bay.
We are also in the mode of killing time. The weather forecast suggests that Friday night might be the best time to leave the Chesapeake Bay going to sea en route to New York City. Winds will be light. We could be there by Monday morning. If needed, we could stay out Tuesday and Wednesday, but by Thursday next week there will be a gale near Long Island.
We much prefer waiting here as opposed to waiting in the urban envirionment of Norfolk or Hampton.
