Today, we had a shorter 40-mile trip from Belhaven to Oriental, NC. We left in fog that dissipated to some extent but remained with us all day, transitioning to drizzle by early afternoon. The rain began in earnest mid afternoon, though the threatened wind had fortunately not developed at the time of writing. Oriental does not look much of place to go ashore and with the rain now pouring we are planning another DVD tonight. Last night it was Mission Impossible 3 - not bad – even managed to stay awake till 10:00pm!!
The journey today was pretty uneventful. We have left the company of most of the power vessels and are now traveling with a “flock” of sailboats. We are now anchored just outside of Orient together with a sailboat from the Netherland, a large, classical design, motor ketch from Germany , and a Canadian sailboat from Vancouver that must have come here via the Panama Canal ! We are in good international company.
