Missed yesterday so catching up on 5/13. Left Welcome Center at 7am and motored south to South Mills Locks - about 5 miles. Area between the bridge and the lock was real nicewith homes right next to the canal and easy tie ups. The dock master at South Mills was not as friendly as Robert at Deep Creek. Anchored at Goat Island for a couple hours and showered. Seemed like it woiuld take forever to get to Elizabeth City - one bend in the river after another. Arrived in Elizabeth City around 5pm - expecting to tie up with Dan at the University. He had just left a few minutes before I arrived on his new (to him) Albin 32. He ended up not returning till just after the sun set. I docked and walked into town. Had a beer (Fat Tire) at the bar of a local restaurant who was doing a wedding on the deck. Later in the evening, met up with Dan who gave me a tour of his boat. A real classic cruiser. 1971 with 5-90watt solar panels. Emptied the trash, showered, did two loads of laundry, and filled the water tank. Nice place to stay (free). Has wifi.
