Beautiful day! Yesterday's high pressure blew great weather into the area. Up at 5:30am. Had deck scrubbed down by 7. Left dock at 7:15am for Deep Creek Lock. Anchored on North side of lock - waiting for opening. I was the only one "locking in". Robert was the Lock Master - really nice guy. Poured me a cup of fresh coffee and gave me advice on what to watch out for - in his and in South Lock. Hit bottom (bumps) twice on the way to the Information Center at mile 28. Got to Visitors Center at around 1pm. Met super nice guy - Neal. Owns an English 32' Fisher cat. Met several others but don't recall their names.
Locked in at Deep Creek Lock
Highway 17 parallels the Dismal Swamp and has lots of areas for picnics etc.
Not a lot of room to pass!
