Oriental To Beaufort NC

We were to leave at 9:30 for Beaufort.  I got up early enough to get a coffee from the Bean and visited the provisioning store beside the marina. 

Everyone had started their engine, so I started mine.  Nobody left, so I departed from the free dock and headed out slowly, eventually making my way towards Beaufort. 

The Aqua map, with its seamless integration with the US Corps of Engineers' USACE surveys, proved to be a reliable guide in Adam's Creek. 

Mark and I both found suitable anchorages, while the others opted for a dock at the city marina, showcasing our group's flexibility and adaptability. 

We had a meeting to discuss the upcoming closure of the Onslow bridge from November 4-7, 7 AM to 9 PM. 

All, updated schedule based on conversation with Wally's plan : 

Oct 31 and Nov 1: Beaufort 

Nov 2: Swansboro 

Nov 3: Mile Hammock Bay

Nov 4 and 5: Wrightsville Beach 

Nov 6 and 7: Southport 

We visited the Maritime Museum, took the London double-decker tour, and explored a couple of cemeteries.

We were thrilled to have a tour of a private Trumpy motor yacht called Freedom, a highlight of our trip.
