NH Anchorage & docked at Coinjock Marina

April 23rd Nana and Nandad decided to anchor just past the Alligator River Bridge at ICW mile 81.5. Cruising the wide Alligator River was very pleasant and Nandad had calculated the weather nicely. However our Anchorage , while excellent holding , the boat rocked and rolled all night long - even louder than when we were docked at Belhaven. This meant for an early start in the morning so that we could make Coinjock Marina before the winds picked up once again. Another great opportunity for a sunrise picture ! 

April 24th Saturday. Cruising up the Albermarle Sound with lots of other boats heading North was very comforting. Everybody seemed to arrive within the same timeframe at the Marina so dockhands were really busy. They are well prepared here with expert help. A great stop in the middle of nowhere with one of the best local restaurants. Very large power boats here mixed with sailboats and lots of loopers. Many fishing craft pass by after a day searching for bass. 

A very pretty boat cruising  past while we were docked at Coinjock. We later saw it again docked at Great Bridge on the way to Portsmouth Virginia.
