As we warmed up with a bowl of soup, Team Helios came to the realization that today was the most unpleasant of our trip. The weather forecaster must have been hitting the bottle pretty hard yesterday. He actually forecast 15 knots of wind with 2 foot seas on the Albemarle Sound. As we rode out the Sound with 20 knots, gusting to 30 and 4-5 foot seas we thought that maybe Joe Weatherman might want to rethink his forecast. It was rough. Oh and did I say cold, so very cold.
After a two and a half hour transit of the Sound we made our way to the Coinjock Marina at MM49. It really is a nice little place with everything the way it should be. We had lunch at the restaurant and then took care of our chores around the boat before settling in for the night.
During our little adventure today, we began to daydream about a cabin in the mountains with a puppy on our lap and a fire in the fireplace. It is all about the need for warmth.
So tomorrow we are off to Great Bridge, VA and then to Norfolk. Life on the ICW is going along as planned.
Cheers,
P&J
