Friday morning we were tied up at the Jennette Foods dock. This is a convenient place to moor with good protection from any weather. You do have to watch out for the trees though that can grab the rigging.
The Jennette company allows free docking and room for about 4 boats in return for you spending money in town at restaurants and other stores.
Its a good deal and there are plenty of great places to spend money.
Lunch/Dinner was pizza for me and salad for Sue. These are the lunch portions. Would hate to see the dinner portions.
The Paradiso restaurant had seating right over the waters of the Pasquotank and the sun kept the temperatures perfect.
Happy hour at the 7-Sounds brewery recently opened up and on the Pasquotank. A good selection of craft beers there but we both selected the coffee porter.
A visit to Elizabeth City let us meet up with our good friend Carol who we have known since our days in Guam in the 1970s. It was a great visit.
Elizabeth City is working to improve the downtown area for tourism and just to get the local populace shopping downtown. We love the fire hydrant tables in one of the alley ways. These tables were great during Covid days when we got takeout pizza and took it here to eat.
Our stay at Elizabeth City got extended a couple days when we learned the Gilmerton Bridge in Norfolk was closed until Monday morning.
But Monday it was time to move on up the river. Here is an old railroad bridge that crosses the river just up from the city.
Next comes the Dismal Swamp canal route.
