So We Are In Oriental NC.

We never made it out of this area…We were going to leave at first light and just keep going but a slip on the free dock was available so we stayed.

I am glad we did this is a wonderful town, very boater friendly. Some much needed repair was done along with an oil change for the engine, it was a simple chore we had it done in a half hour.

The repair was to the front bow rail, it was broken at the base and there was no way to refasten it. Not being at home at the shop where I could just fabricate the pieces I needed it was off to the local store to find a piece of stainless and hope I could do something with it.

Trina was at a local hardware and it just so happened the lady’s husband was a fabricator, what luck right! So I made a cardboard template and not only had the rail fixed but now the anchor has a great place to tie into also. Should have taken a couple photos but maybe at the next stop – we leave at first light in the morning.

It has been a nice couple days this is a must stop if you are in the area.
Want to see the area check out the town dock webcam we are the boat on the right side if you look at today’s photos.

Have a great Thanksgiving,
Wolfbernz
