Where in the hell is Coinjock?



I must confess, I do not know the answer to this question.  Last night it was FREEZING and, once Rob finally turned on the Wallas stove/heater, I didn't want to get out of bed.  All I can tell you is we left Elizabeth City around 8am and the next thing I knew, we had anchored and rafted for a little morning "brunch".  David ("Alma's Only") loves to cook, and the limited galley and storage apparently only provides a challenge to him.  Here is a picture of the "spread" I woke up to:




Then we motored for another hour or so, following our fearless leader Steve ("Osprey"), but I only raised my head from the pillow to catch a few pictures.  The next thing I knew, we were in Coinjock.  What is in Coinjock?  Well, my brother-in-law looked it up on Google Maps and wrote to tell us that "there is no there there"... I do see a few homes.  There is a nice marina here with some awesome boats and an amazingly great restaurant.  We passed a house where the grandmother had sewn the wings for the Wright Brothers.

 After my several naps today, I was ready for a great meal, with our new friends.  Its our last night of the official cruise.  They are talking about a James River Cruise-out in July and if we are in the area, we definitely want to participate.  We are having so much fun.  C-Brats are the best (and they feed you well too!)
