Strategic Retreat to Coinjock Marina

The last obstacle between us and home is the Albemarle Sound.  We can't/ don't want to cross it for 15 miles straight into a 10-15 kt SW wind, especially when in reality the predicted 10-15 is 20-25.  We were both exhausted after reaching Norfolk and again after a hard day in the waterway. It's been impossible to get much sleep because it is so hot.  So yesterday we motored BACK about an hour to Coinjock and now  are tied securely to a long dock, with wifi and showers during these 2 days of rain.  wind from a better direction is promised for the weekend, so I have hopes of reaching home Sunday night or Monday.  So I hope this will be my last blog entry.

This has been an unpleasant experience and I would appreciate it if you would not ask me about it.  I intend to move on and forget it as fast as possible.
