We are now in Oriental in North Carolina. This is touted as
the sailing capital of North Carolina but I must say the town seems rather
small for a capital. This picture is of the intersection of Main, King and
First street and the only thing in between these streets is 1 tree!
It is a nice little town though and people are incredibly
friendly.
Jim and I always endeavor to have a walk or some kind of
exercise whenever we get off the boat. Today we took a 3 mile walk and during this
walk we were offered a ride back to the boat by 4 different people.
It is so small that Nell's bar doubles as the
history museum. 
We did get to meet up
with some other loopers. Sandra and Nelson are people we met earlier on the
loop in Mobile Alabama. They are now in Oriental at the free dock. It was nice
to see them and Mr Eli the Japanese poodle again.
We are heading to Belhaven tomorrow – this is home of the
cheapest fuel in North Carolina at $2.39gal we certainly can't skip this town!
See y'all tomorrow.
