Due to the nasty storms we rented a van and drove to Grandy, NC where we stayed the night in the "Pirate Room" at this very unusual hotel. (See pictures) It was a rough drive as well as a rough night due to the weather - driving rain and 50 mph wind gusts.
This morning we drove to Nags Head, checked in to our "mom & pop" hotel and dropped the van off. The weather is improving and much better but not ideal. However, we plan on riding tomorrow. When we got to the hotel we discovered Jim's biking shoes were not with us so we had to go buy another pair, We either left them at Va Beach or in the "Pirate Room". We called all day to the hotel but no one ever answered.
We are staying tonight right on the beach and it is really nice listening to the waves. The ocean is still very rough but it looks awesome. We are anxious to get back on the bikes and into the serenity of just riding down the rode. All this scrambling - renting the van, changing the plan, cancelling and reserving hotel rooms, is no fun but it is what it is.
