A view of the commercial fishing fleet at Oriental, NC, right behind our boat at anchor. We watched three of these big boats jockeying around in the small harbor yesterday afternoon, trying to get settled in their berths, something like an awkward dance of the behemoths.
Oriental is a tiny town with vastly overpriced real estate, that is becoming unaccountably popular. For the cruising sailor, we had trouble locating basic essentials, like a place to fill our water jugs. Nonetheless we enjoyed our stay here, and especially visiting with our friends Joe and Priscilla.

Debra,

Come on now, waterfront property is high everywhere. I've just sold 4 1/2 acres of land with a boat slip for 90K! Where in the southern states can anyone get a deal like that? And, I've got 6 more similar properties, with boatslips, for about 95K each!!!

Great to hear from y'all. We've been wondering how your travels were progressing. Glad you enjoyed the trip to DC. Our trip there was one of our very favorite cruises. Be sure to try the shrimp and crabmeat pizza at Andrea's while you're in Great Bridge.

Sorry about the engine trouble, hope it was minor.
