Coinjock, NC - Day 2 (and 3)

    We arrived Friday at Coinjock after an uneventful transit (the best kind) down the Virginia Cut and Currituck Sound in steady showers. We ended up staying 2 nights because there were gale warnings for 20-30kt winds out of the southwest on Saturday. That's exactly the direction we need to go so, no sense bashing into those headwinds and waves. Tomorrow the forecast is for sunny again and 5-8kts of wind. We will proceed on to the Alligator River Canal anchorage area. A night with no heater coming up - but, we can heat the bed up with our electric blanket and portable generator.
   We took a day off today and walked around in the sunshine and 25kt winds. Here is a view of the channel cut through Coinjock. We are tied up at Midway Marina way up at the top left of the photo.
