    A cruiser's note: just south of Deep Creek bridge is a bulkhead for free tie-up, right across from the plaza with grocery store, restaurants, etc. Very convenient and you can avoid the dense traffic.

    On your way back:
    There is a water spigot at the MACU docks. Call the number on the sign and you might get a ride to the store. A laundromat is also nearby but a bit of a walk.
    In season there is a water spigot at the north end of the Welcome Center dock.
    Tie up to the concrete wall just before the Deep Creek Bridge to avoid playing Frogger like you did on the way south. The auto parts store takes old oil and you can replenish your supply, too.

      We had three different people offer to take us on errands while in Elizabeth city it was crazy! They are soooo nice! The MACU dock was full when we came through we ended up on the park bulkhead. It had been blowing for a couple days so I think there was a bit of a backup of people waiting to cross the Albemarle sound.
      We saw the wall at deep creek after we had already been to the grocery store and auto parts store. It’s funny how that area feels so peaceful until you see the traffic and you try to cross the street 😂

    9:28 Ha! My wife does the same thing: Turns mishaps into funny anecdotes. I, on the other hand, don't think the mishaps are funny (if I could have prevented them), so I don't enjoy celebrating them.

    Would you go a boat tour.
    Also how do you like that omnia stove top.oven? Does it make good bread?

      We have a mini boat tour in the story highlights of our Instagram. I plan to do a more in-depth one at some point for UA-cam! The Omnia is great! I haven’t tried bread yet, but plan to soon! I’ve been really impressed with how well it works but it does take some practice to get the temps right.

      What a cool thing to do. Sending a photo. Studying Dismal area and found this video. I can add 2 more new channels to my list. You both make good videos. HoldFast I really enjoy your Big Boat and her videos. Well done to you both, look forward to watching both channels

    omnia stove top.oven??? Its the same as a Wonder Pot from the 1950's redone (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Pot). What a trip!

    13:32 A snake can drop on your boat?? Oh HELL no! I'm out.
    I could handle running aground, clogged intake filters, etc, but not a snake falling on my boat.

      We’ve been through 5 times now and haven’t had it happen yet but during the warmer months it’s not unheard of 😬
