Deep Point Anchorage to Coinjock Marina

We left Deep Point anchorage at 0830.  The weather was clear and sunny.  Our trip up the Alligator River was pleasant.  We saw our "dolphin a day" shortly after entering Albemarle Sound.  Once again, we were very lucky as the Sound was very calm which is unusual.

We decided to take the Virginia Cut rather than The Dismal Swamp route.  We wanted to take a route we haven't traveled yet and it was an easier route to navigate than The Dismal Swamp.  Also, we wanted to visit Coinjock Marina for the prime rib dinner at the marina restaurant.  We entered the North River and soon, the North Carolina Cut. Hakuna Matata was already at the Coinjock Marina when we arrived and had space reserved on the dock for us. Upon our arrival, we refueled, pumped-out and headed for the showers and laundry. Dinner was at 7 and the restaurant lived up to its reputation for fine prime rib.

Coinjock Marina

Carol, Frank, Paul, Dwayne and Carla had a wonderful stay at this renown marina frequented by boaters traveling the ICW.  We'll be back next fall.
