New Bern to Oriental

I left New Bern at the crack of dawn and as winds were light, had to motor all the way. This guy was pushing hull speed.

Oriental, North Carolina is a small town but with a reputation of big heart to transient sailors like myself.

Easy access to new docks and was welcomed by new Canadian neighbours, Kevin and Janice on a Pacific Seacraft 37, just behind me on the other side of the slip.

Am looking forward to a nice few easy days here!
