Three milestones today and fresh tuna ! ; March 23, 2011


We are anchored at "Mile Zero!" on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. 
 - traveled 1631 miles so far. 
Trivia: The AICW dates way back to the Revolutionary War to create a better transportation route between colonies to increase national security!


There was nothing dismal about the Dismal Swamp Canal.
We would say there was beauty around every corner except there aren't any corners.
This canal is the oldest man-made waterway in the US still in use today and was dug by hand! 
I guess in 1784 they didn't have the machinery to do the job, but its hard to imagine 22 miles dug by hand ! 



Hello Virginia !

Saw this crazy looking domestic duck walking along the road near a lock in the canal.

Tuna anyone? Delicious!
