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.

Ray, how do you like your Sabre? I have an older 30.

The Sabre 386 is a great boat; fast, comfortable, tight, and easy to
maintain. It's our 2nd year and I haven't had any problems. Sabres seems
to hold their value. I've seen a couple 386's for sale for more than I
paid. I sold a Sabre 34 I had before this one for close to the same price I
bought it for 10 years earlier. The great experience I had with the 34 was
the reason I upgraded.
