Coinjock, NC

This is one of the largest power boats I have ever seen up close!  It looked almost as big
We stopped at Coinjock, NC to get gas and provision some.  This is a very small town.  After leaving Coinjock we motored South about 4-5 miles and anchored out.  Ed heard the bilge pump turn on and off and knew something wasn't right.  After digging everything out of the sail locker again, he found the pump was broken!  We had to call someone to give us a tow back to Coinjock to work out the logistics of getting a new pump.  Fortunately, Ed was able to get another pump delivered to us.    A nice young man working at the dock was nice enough to go to the post office on Saturday.  Everyone in this area are wonderful!   The Boatus tow driver's boat broke down on their way to tow us.  So instead of making us wait overnight for a different tow boat to come he got some friends and their small fishing boat and they towed us back!

New Pump Arrived!

The look of relief and happiness at the arrival of the new pump!

This is the life!

  
Kathy and Lee are taking the same kind of trip as us. 
The difference is that they will be flying back to Annapolis for their daughter's wedding and will return to their boat in January.  We enjoyed meeting them and found out they like to play cards.  We played a game of Hand and Foot with them.  Lots of fun!
