Does anyone have any current information on the Great Dismal Swamp
Canal? Is it operating this year? How are the water depths? Lock
restrictions?

My wife and I did a southern transit the first week of July on our Sabre
386. Although the depth meter never went below 6', there were a couple
bumps. I suspect that they were caused by sunken debris. Pix at

It was interesting but I doubt I'll do it again. It's aptly named. The
bugs are hungry. Don't miss the lock schedule. I wouldn't choose to spend
the night on a hook. Too creepy.
