Thursday 5/28 - Beaufort, NC to to Oriental, NC (River Dunes Marina)

Today’s waters were big and calm….  it looked like we were on the ocean. 

Okay travelers - take note - this is a beautiful marina - top notch!!  It’s a bit off the ICW but well worth it.  River Dunes Marina is beyond Oriental.  By car it’s about 10 minutes away.

As we were getting settled in a pair of fighter jets fly over pretty low.  This sight and sound was SO amazing.  It really is hard to explain how massive, loud, and fast these things are.  At first you think it may be thundering far off in the distance, then the sound stays and grows louder and louder and everyone looks up but the sound is not following the object because its traveling faster than the sound, so you can't find it right off.  Then you see them and then they're gone.  Sorry Jan, there is NO time what so ever to grab a camera or film the things.  SO FAST, SO LOUD and SO AMAZING....

Joined another couple and took the courtesy car into Oriental for dinner at M&Ms.  It was a kind of homey place, i ordered the blackened cod and Harry ordered the duck.  oh the the car was a chevrolet suburban type thing - not a hoot car at all....

We get to stay over here in order to change the oil in the motors and the generator.

Marina office with restaurant on top, screened in porch on side.
