Days 39,40 and 41 - November 4th, 5th and 6th

We made it Coinjock, NC and the Coinjock Marina yesterday and had a great mealin their restaurant I had the mates cut of Prime Rib, Dottie had the Large Seafood Salad and she too, enjoyed it.
We met a couple aboard their Fleming 55 (Quintessence)in Deltaville, and we met again today in Coinjock for dinner. Alan and Liz Hendershot is their name.

We left Coinjock this morning for the Alligator River Marina another 50 miles south. The folks aboard the Fleming decided to anchor out and we went to the marina. This has been the smallest marina so far with just 18 slips and a wall of 950 feet. Dinner was aboard the boat tonight.

I cannot get over the bathrooms in the south...ever since Cape May, they have all been private baths instead of the Locker Room style that we found in the north. PRIVATE and CLEAN, spotlessless clean, I should say.

Left the Alligator Marina today (Wednesday)and headed for Bellhaven, NC. Another quaint, small village known for it's quality marinas and restaurants. We pulled into the Bellhave Waterway Marina at 1:30 PM, and took a much needed rest.

Dinner tonight in a place called Spoon River Restaurant at the Marketplace and Artworks bldg., and all I can say is that was the best so far...I had the mussels and clams and Dottie had Shrimp and Grits, and both were fantastic. I had never had mussels that tased so good, and found out that it is a chef-owned restaurant.
We had dinner with two women who we met the night before at the Alligator River marina. Debbie and Dale are real boaters and they are bringing Debbies boat, named Camelot, home to St. Augustine, FL.
