day fourteen - Oriental, again


Under power just after 6:00, tying up at the boat ramp to get rid of some trash.  Round the point and motor into Oriental.   


Tied up along the bulkhead, I walk across the street to The Bean for a muffin and iced tea.  


I've used up my two free days at the town dock, so walk next door to the marina and inn, paying for a slip for the night.  At two bucks a foot, not a bad deal.  

It's a morning of the usual chores - laundry, cleaning up the boat, drying out gear, recharging batteries.  A visit to the Provision Company for some supplies.


There are some Plein Air painters in town.  As per usual, they are painting every boat in the harbor expect SPARTINA.  I console myself with a crab cake lunch.


An afternoon walk through town.  Back to the boat, I visit with the locals who drop by the waterfront.

A light dinner, then a dark n' stormy at the tiki hut.
