Oriental

I just received the top photo, from John, who runs Potters Marine, on the day I began the trip.  I like the way SPARTINA looks on North Creek.

The rest of the photographs are from the last two days.    A long motor south on a windless Pamlico Sound until I finally found wind on West Bay and through Old Canal   Today I crossed the Neuse River into Oriental.   I will enjoy the town today and tomorrow, then head south Wednesday.

I put the boom tent up early this afternoon as thunderstorms are passing over the area.
