Pungo Creek to Gale Creek to Oriental, NC




We are back in contact with the electronic world.  We have been out of cell service for three days.  Tuesdays blog was missing pictures.  The above are pictures for that blog.

Yesterday we were fogged in until after noon.  We were going to sail to Oriental NC about 50 miles, that was not going to happen. We got about half way to Gale Creek and anchored for the night.  This morning the fog was with us again, but it cleared by about 10:00 AM.  Oriental was ours before 2:00 PM thanks to the wind coming from a favorable direction for a change.  Oriental is the Sailing Capital of North Carolina.  It is a quaint little town.  We are tied to a free town dock across the street from a coffee shop that has Wifi,  I can pick up the signal.  This afternoon we went grocery shopping, about a two mile walk!  We just got back from a nice dinner at M&Ms, a local favorite.  We are headed to the Tiki Bar after I am finished this.  The pictures are from today's trip.

  1. Again, you are having great weather. Please send a picture on a rainy day so we don't think this is some kind of green screen backdrop. :-)
    Candy, you look right at home and at the helm to boot. Love the Cape Cod Potato Chips truck...a little bit of home.
    Now, ya'll don't have too much fun, trips like this could get addicting. Well, I guess that's not such a bad thing.

  2. I took the picture of "Daisy" duck because I thought of Liam who is really into them! The marina staff call her (?) Quackers because she does that most of the time. They said she is addicted to Cheerios.

  3. Too cute Mom! I'll make sure Liam sees "Quackers" tonight! I hope that's Dunkin' Donuts Coffee in that mug. ;)

    You both look like your having a lot of fun.
