Elizabeth City NC, our home for the month of September…
Here is what you see when coming in by boat. The Highway 158 bridge tender is prompt and opens on signal except during rush hour traffic. VHF-13 like most states except FL (9). Immediately to the left after coming through the bridge you’ll see this hospitable place to tie up. No shore power, but whaddaya want fer nothin’?
Just north of the E-City bridge. This past week we came into E-City for a second time after a trip up the Dismal Swamp and a night out in Norfolk VA. Shelly and I swam at the Albermarle Family YMCA today!Several citizens, firefighters, and YMCA members committed to climbing 110 flights of stairs this week to commemorate the first responders in NYC on September 11, 2001Austin Wildermuth takes a brief break from his stair climbing; he was about 3/4 done when I talked with him and another from the Providence NC Volunteer Fire Department. We also met Austin’s wife, Tiffany, who is breaking her 110 steps into 3 or 4 chunks with hopes of finishing by Monday September 11. While I was swimming I saw Austin doing most of his climbing this afternoon with all his gear on.
