CODA : Exploring northern North Carolina.
12 April 2025
Dowry Creek Marina, Belhaven, North Carolina
Moonrise over Dowry Creek.
Marc- We could not help ourselves this morning and so we just had to visit a few more boats before we left Oriental. We enjoyed breakfast, coffee and a bagel, at The Bean. It is quite the village gathering spot in the morning. We moved Coda over to the fuel dock to top off the tank. We also took on water.
The first course out of the Neuse River was good for sailing. The remainder of the day was motoring into 15-20 knot winds from the North with four foot waves on Pamlico Sound. We did have a reprieve taking the land cut through Goose Creek past RE Mayo shrimp fishery. The wind did calm done finally as we approached Dowry Creek. Unfortunately two of our hatches were not closed tightly enough during the wave crashing on deck time period. Those two hatches just happened to be over Michael's bunk in the guest cabin and my bunk in the forward cabin. Thankfully Dowry Creek Marina has free washers and dryers. They also have a first rate restaurant.
One last view of Oriental.
A new version of Michael's old boat.
These prices are crazy.
