Abstract:
By boat is the best way for some vacationers to travel from the Great Dismal Swamp down to Old Baldy Lighthouse off Southport. Each a year about 2,000 snowbirds (people who travel south in the winter and north in the summer) sail that route. Many others enjoy fishing, birdwatching, cruising, kayaking, and sightseeing in the well-maintained waters of eastern North Carolina. Wright describes sights to see along the waterways and a short distance inland.
