0035 We left Oriental after lunch so that we could go across the Pamlico River before strong West winds arrive tomorrow. It was choppy manageable. Anchorage tonight just a spot off the waterway. Very pleasant. We had a great time in Oriental. The folks who live there are very friendly and interested in whoever lands on their docks. A photographer/writer for their online paper, Shipping News, came by yesterday. She took lots of photos and asked lots of questions. We will be featured in the ‘paper’ next week. Weather is mice but cool

 

The sailboat on the dock with us left today. The young man at the helm is a member of the NC State sailing team

Later on the day when we left Oriental we saw our ‘neighbor’ 

Pulled into R.E. Mayo to buy shrimp
