suck! and my butt hurts. But hey, I’m still going strong and I’m basically at the ocean. Today I’m hopping on a ferry to Knotts Island. Tomorrow I’ll be in Virginia Beach.

Last night I spent the night sleeping outside a church, this time for real- no one invited me in. I did get some free food though from an association meeting going on inside. Sleeping outside wasn’t bad at all. I actually enjoyed it. At first I kept freaking out when I felt anything possibly crawling on my face, but I was overreacting. I slept really well and woke up a little after 6am, my earliest start yet. Last night I enjoyed a beautiful sunset over some water, I guess part of the Albemarle Sound. It would have been a good chance to do some fishing, as they were all over the place and jumping about, but I had already eaten and didn’t feel like cleaning and cooking a fish.

Yesterday was tough, with headwinds the whole day, but I pushed through and got some good thinking time in. I feel so much more relaxed than a few days ago. I think I’m really doing well in erasing my expectations.

Well, this is just a quick post to check in. I’m going to go cook some lunch now; my tummy is growling. I will post a bunch of pictures once I get to Virginia Beach. I’m off to fight the wind.
