Made it

Tom McDonagh

Long run from Tuckahoe Point to Atlantic Yacht Basin. We made the right decision of skipping Bellhaven as very strong winds from the south funnel there. We picked up the anchor with no snags at 9pm and had a nice headsail run down the Alligator River through the drawbridge. It is one of the pillow that request registration numbers and record boat names. We took care to follow the nav aids as one boat near us ran aground. The ride across the Albamarle was sporty with short chop and gusting to 20 knots. We decided to stop at Coinjock at an up and coming “marina”. Greg at The Landing was very nice and helpful. He currently has space for 2-40’ boats with 50 amp power. He is developing a small full service marina on the east side 100 yards north of the bridge. It will be away from the hubbub. There is lots of development going on so the money is flowing in. We slept in and made the beak for Atlantic Yacht Basin. Ran into many old and some new friends. We plan to leave the boat for a few weeks while we do some adulting.
