The Great Dismal Swamp, Elizabeth City, and Albemarle Sound in NC (Episode 51: Sailing 9 LIVES)

We cross into North Carolina while traversing the Great Dismal Swamp Canal. There is no sailing in the canal, so we motor our way out of the swamp and head to Elizabeth City. It is t-shirt weather, at last! We sail slowly across the Albemarle Sound, and enjoy beautiful vistas in North Carolina.

November of 2020?!!!! DukeDude, you are even more behind than me!!! 😂

[@Sailing9LIVES]

Oh, certainly. It is ridiculous, really. I have this big pile of content just waiting for me to get to it. The PROBLEM, really, is that I keep letting my real life get in the way... kids, travel, WORK, more work, projects at home, storm damage repairs, the kids some more, even more work, etc. I tried my experiment of rolling out weekly videos (with very little editing) for a while and found that NOTHING HAPPENED. I think our subscriber count may have recovered a total of 5 subscribers over that period (after a fairly significant loss). So... pumping them out more regularly proved to be of no benefit. I think I am going to just continue along as I am now, working on them as I can find the time. Maybe we will eventually get closer to current. Maybe. I also have to admit that I have been getting behind on watching your videos lately. The same time constraints apply. I'll catch up soon. :)

Poke us if you are still in Oriental, NC!

[@Sailing9LIVES]

I wish... this is seriously old content and we are trying to play catch-up as quickly as we can... which is not quick at all. :) We will be passing through that area in about a month, though. Is that your home base?

[@SailingKnotShore]

@@Sailing9LIVES I thought it might be old video... I was on a 2 year video delay for a while! Yes it is our home base, touch base if you are back in town!

[@Sailing9LIVES]

@@SailingKnotShore Yes, absolutely! And it is not "old video", it is "vintage documentary footage". :)

[@AdventuresofHappyOurs]

What a nice calm day crossing the Albemarle sound. Nice to see you don’t have winter coats on for a change! I think I want a sailboat.. seems so peaceful(less the car sticking).

[@Sailing9LIVES]

@@AdventuresofHappyOurs Sailboat ownership, like any boat ownership, has been nothing but peaceful and stress-free.

[@lwn345]

sorry, we don't talk like that.

[@Sailing9LIVES]

Uh-oh... I am going to have to watch this video again to see who's accent I might be misrepresenting. I'm a bit of a clown, ya' know...
