ELIZABETH CITY
Elizabeth City relishes its unique rapport with sailors and power boaters alike. A tradition of hospitality started in 1983 continues to this day - if 5 or more new boaters show up to take advantage of the city's free dockage, they are regaled with a wine and cheese reception.

Even in November, the roses bloom in Elizabeth City. The waterfront is newly renovated and a gathering place for city residents as well as boaters.
Here we are, with a lot of our new aquaintances from the Dismal Swamp.

Ladies enjoy their fresh cut roses!
If you are southward or northward bound on the ICW, I highly recommend a stopover at Elizabeth City - a very hospitable harbor!
