The Great Dismal Swamp canal will be closed from 8 January 2024 until 31 March 2024.  Mariners should plan on using the Albemarle and Chesapeake Canal.

Hi Barry,
Good information for those going S on the US east coast from the Chesapeake. Do you know why the canal is closed?
Thanks, Dick Stevenson, s/v Alchemy

Ahoy Dick.  The Deep Creek Locks (north end of the canal) will be closed for planned refurbishment.  Cheers, Barry

Thanks, Barry
That certainly makes sense and is probably a good time for most, although it is a shame for the cruising boats going S to lose that option. Dick
