Here are Changing Latitudes and Over Ice following us out of the Swamp. As we exited, we turned briefly south to Top Rack marina to fuel up and pump out. We then turned back north towards Norfolk, and saw the signpost and marker for the Dismal Swamp entrance, as well as the infamous Rail Road bridge. You may recall that on the way south, as we went through the delayed opening of the Railroad Bridge intending to go the Swamp route, a large barge and tow pulled out in front of us. By the time we could negotiate a pass of the barge, we were past Top Rack and headed into the Virginia Cut. We now realize that the barge and tug were probably to our starboard side, blocking our view of the turn off sign. Glad we were able to go through this time, northbound. Over Ice, LeryLyn and Leap of Faith then headed into the Rendezvous at the Sheraton Norfolk Waterside Marina. If you enlarge the photo of the Dismal Swamp signpost, the white sign states “If you haven’t done it yet, you don’t know what you are missing. The Dismal Swamp is lovely and worth much reminiscing.” We agree.
