Error changing projection via coord_sf for geom_sf and geom_point at the same time

I want to plot a map with geom_sf and add points from another dataset, then change the projection. For example:

# setup
library(ggplot2)
library(sf)
nc <- sf::st_read(system.file("shape/nc.shp", package = "sf"), quiet = TRUE)
point <- data.frame(id = "hi", lat = 36, long = -80) # point inside NC

# can change projection
ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = nc) +
  coord_sf(crs = st_crs(3347))

# can add a point
ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = nc) +
  geom_point(data = point, aes(x = long, y = lat))

# but can't do both: see plot attached
ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = nc) +
  geom_point(data = point, aes(x = long, y = lat)) +
  coord_sf(crs = st_crs(3347))

See plot below. The other two plots look normal; the last one converts the NC map okay, but projects the coordinate close way off its original lat/long:

I've tried various combinations of converting the points to sf objects first, changing their projections to be consistent before calling ggplot, all to no avail so far. Any advice would help; PS I'm pretty new to GIS.

Solution

You can convert point to an sf object and set the crs (perhaps you forgot to set the crs?). This is because coord_sf can convert layers to common projections but they need to be sf objects for it to know how to do so.

### add this below creation of point object
point <- st_as_sf(point, coords = c("long", "lat"), crs = 4326)

ggplot() +
  geom_sf(data = nc) +
  geom_sf(data = point) +
  coord_sf(crs = st_crs(3347))
