Whitaker Pointe Marina Oriental, NC May 26 - 27, 2016
It was another gorgeous day and as always we were on our way before I barely had my breakfast! Blue skies, big fluffly clouds and a bit of wind here and there…Thankfully, dad had done his homework the night before because coming by Morehead City, the ICW got very confusing!!! Definitely one of the more industrial areas we have seen in a long time!
Not long after we passed Morehead City, 3 military style, dull grey, stealth or futuristic looking, power boats came flying past us. Mom was bummed because she couldn’t even get a photo of them! Dad thought they could be ICE.

We ended up helping out another boater by leading him through that confusing ICW channel. He’s taking the boat to somewhere in VA. Since mom wasn’t driving so much today, she decided to make marinara sauce for spaghetti tonight. It smells wonderful in here!!!
M & D are talking about anchoring out now, since we can finally see shoreline where we could safely take me to do my business…I’m not so sure how I feel about getting into the dingy??? Might want to rethink using the fake grass??? (To be continued…)
Arrived at Oriental by 2 PM…it is positively gorgeous here around this marina…picturesque no matter which way you turn…Love seeing and smelling the forests again!
If the courtesy car comes back M & D might take a spin into town, just to say they saw it...Maybe not until tomorrow morning...They can take it for a breakfast spin, since we may wait for the tide to rise some before we leave here.
Met some nice loopers who just crossed their wake here, Vickie and Wayne on a 36' Monk trawler. Hope to have cocktails with them later...We will probably be seeing them again since they aren't planning to return to Holland, MI, their home port until about the same time we will be there.
Looking forward to hanging out in the same place for three days and chilling out...
