Post Mathew ICW...
I'm holed up in Hampton waiting for things to calm down- Any news/problems on Virginia Cut or Dismal Swamp canals? Also has anybody transited Dismal Swamp with 6' draft recently? I've always wanted to do the trip and with the high water I was wondering if my 5'11" draft was a possibility...
