Comments from Cruisers (1)
The Dismal Swamp website (https://dismalswampwelcomecenter.com/paddle-for-the-border/) lists Saturday 5/4 as the date for this event and not 5/5. And the event brochure indicates Saturday 5/4 also.
Obviously there is a single day to resolve this issue and help ICW cruisers attempt to plan their Dismal Swamp passage. But resolving it would certainly be extremely useful.
Editor’s note: Derek is correct, the Local Notice posted in April has an incorrect date. Thanks you Derek!!
