June 21, 2012 Coinjock, NC

We left Oriental, N.C on June 20th-the summer solstice, with the morning sunrise we made a 93.3 sm trip in 12 hours. The skies were hazy because of a uncontrolled burn in a nearby forest. However as we went through the Alligator-Pungo River Canal the skies cleared up. There was no wind and it was hot-hot-hot but the scenery was beautiful as usual. We caught up with two other north bound sail boats and followed them almost to Coinjock. A cold beer was greatly needed when we pulled into the Coinjock, Marina. Today we have 40 miles to Great Bridge, V.A. where I am looking forward to a soft ice cream at the DQ not far from the docks. We will update pictures when we get to Great Bridge.
