Well, at least we have heat on the boat. We sailed and motored another 56 miles today, and are now in Oriental, NC. And it was cold all day! Dressed as if we were home in Minnesota. We can't get south soon enough.
We're in a marina here; it seems that many marinas in the southeast are competing for the shittiest marina prize, and I'd like to nominate this one, the Oriental Marina & Inn. They compete for short finger piers, and putting the docks as close together as possible so it is impossible to turn into a slip. That, and a dock-full of laughing hyenas (read: assholes) having a great time while we were trying to dock. And don't even get me started on pelican poles. Next time we won't come in so cold and tired, and early enough to anchor out.
We got beat up a little today, covered 56 miles coming across the Pamlico Sound and up the Neuse River. But at least we escaped from the hurricane hole after a week. The waves weren't all that bad today, and we did get some sailing in, but the cold was pretty bad. And look what's coming - see below:
