Change of plans II

One of the nice things about cruising is that you are able to change your plans so easily. We had planned to push through the Dismal Swamp and head right to Newport News, VA for the 4th of July celebrations but when we got to Elizabeth City it was such a nice place that we decided to stay here for their 4th of July celebration instead. Along the way here we passed an osprey nest with two chicks in it but as you can see they are almost full grown and should be ready for flight soon.
Elizabeth City is promoted as the friendliest city on the ICW and they prove it by giving free slips to the cruisers. With a park right in front of our boat and all of the downtown within walking distance it makes for a pleasant place to stop for a day or two.
