Mom and dad are moving slower today which I’m fine with!!! Evidently we don’t have so far to go so we can take our time. An especially good thing since we have a storm passing over us right now. Moondance gets a fresh water wash down which never hurts her. Dad ran over to the little grill and got us some tasty fresh, bacon & egg biscuits. YUM! 

M & D are hoping they have room at the Norfolk Yacht and Country Club, they are going to call today when they open. I heard them say we are going there for maybe four days? We can visit Christy and Gerry for a couple days, rent a car and visit some of our favorite places in the area. 

We got lucky! We crossed Albemarle Sound in a 2’ chop, but no more rain or storms. I went to sleep on mom’s lap for awhile because we were zig and zagging so much around all the crab pots!!! Keeping it on auto pilot wasn’t happening much today. 

Even with our late start we arrived at Coinjock before three. Too bad it is cloudy because although rural, it’s a pretty location on the Virginia cut. Everyone on Active Captain keeps talking about the Prime Rib meal here, so mom and I walked down there to make a reservation for it. Can you believe they wanted to know if we wanted a 16 or 32 oz one??? I’m looking forward to some leftovers for sure! If the sun comes out, mom and dad will take me down to eat at the  outside patio. Since we got here Dad is working on some minor boat issues and mom is doing her usual laundry and cleaning. 

It turns out Coinjock is Native American word for a mulberry bush which none seems to be around anymore.

If all goes as planned, tonight should be our last night in NC for this trip...

Weather didn’t improve so they went without me to dinner. Dad and Mom spent some time talking to Jennifer and Joe on Grampster’s Pride and getting some good cleaning stuff for the boat from Joe. They brought all kinds of goodies for me…YUMMY!!!

Among boaters here is the famous Coinjock Marina with their generous Prime Rib servings

One of the monster yachts that pulled into this tiny place...Bek & Mike check out the name.

Charming patio wish we could have been out there!
