Corolla

No we didnt make it to Coinjock yesterday. We got pounded by wind all day long. Even with an early start we got only 14 miles when we decided to check out the Inn at Corolla light and see if we could stay the night there. Today we are headed out into another day of strong north winds and our destination is undetermined at the moment. Coinjock is only 8 miles away while the campground in Virginia is about 20. We still have two days to get there so the North Carolina border is within our sights. The Inn at Corolla Light is definetly the nicest hotel we have stayed at so far. Lois Jane's in southport was nicer but it was a bed and breakfast so I guess the two aren't in the same class. We went out to get takeout last night so that we could spend more time in the hotel room. We are going to paddle by the Corolla Lighthouse this morning. That completes all the North Carolina Lighthouses. We saw bald head and oak island only from the distance but all the others we got good pictures of from fairly close. We are already making arrangements to pick up the boats and get them on the cars. Hillary is already deciding where she wants to go kayaking on vacation in Nags Head. I don't know if I really want to do any more kayaking for a while but maybe we can find some other fun watersports to do to change things up a little. We have certainly met enough watersports people along the way to steer us in the right direction.
