We took on 206 gallons of diesel today. That's got to be a personal best for Nellie as she only holds 220!
Coinjock Marina at the north end of the Albermarle Sound is known for it's friendly atmosphere and for its prime rib dinner. Arriving just before sunset we couldn't just pass it by--the siren call was irresistible. Now we can check Coinjock off the bucket list. With both our curiosity and appetite satiated we got underway again.
Our plan is to continue into the night until we reach the southern end of the alligator river. There we'll drop the hook for the night. Current ETA is 2 AM. The waters around here are shallow and the channels narrow. We're doing one hour watches which seems about right. The full moon helps. The 15kt headwinds don't.
Still underway in the northern confines of the Albemarle Sound. 50nm thus far today, 159nm under the keel to date. DBH
