Cruising Carolina Documentary

Cruising Carolina is based on the new sixth edition of the book Cruising Guide to Coastal North Carolina, Claiborne Young's definitive guide to cruising the waters of Eastern North Carolina.  

Cruising Carolina offers a boater's perspective of Eastern North Carolina.  Mr. Young cruises the IBX waterways and dock at towns that lie along them. 

In this first segment, Cruising Carolina: The Northern Albemarle uses the Intracoastal Waterway, the Albemarle Sound and the rivers that feed it as the highway for a boating road trip through this historic region.  Viewers are taken a journey of discovery through some of the most breathtaking scenery anywhere in North Carolina.  

The Dismal Swamp Canal, in North Carolina's northeast region, was constructed in the 18th century to ship goods north and south.  The Canal offers a fascinating perspective on the roots of the East's culture and economy. 

Elizabeth City guards the northern waters of the Pasquotank River along the Dismal Swamp Canal.  The town owes its origins to maritime interests and even today capitalizes on its prime location as a haven for modern mariners.

Edenton has been a center of the Albemarle region since colonial times. Established as an official port of entry and later as colonial capital, the town bustled with commerce and politics since before the Revolution.  The Cruising Carolina crew tours the town and then takes to the water again to explore the beauty and history of the western regions of the Albemarle Sound, including the Chowan River, the largest river on the Sound.
