7/9/07 – I woke up this morning at the North Carolina Visitors Center and ate some breakfast. I went up to the office where they had a boaters’ book exchange and exchanged some of the books that I have finished reading. I cast off at around noon so I could make the 3:30pm bridge opening at Deep Creek. I continued up the Dismal Swamp Canal and made it to the bridge right on time. I went through and tied up to a free dock on the other side of it but before I got to the lock. I walked over to the auto parts store but they had trouble figuring out which spar plugs should be put in my engine. I got frustrated and left without buying anything. I went over to a local Mexican restaurant where they had some good and cheap food. I saw David and Anita there and they invited me over to their table so I ate with them. The lock master, Robert, walked over to my boat in the evening and told me that I should come over in the morning before he opened the lock for me to go through.
