Oriental and Beaufort, NC
Adams Creek Canal
After leaving Dowry Creek Marina we decided to go all the way to Oriental, as the sun was shining and the wind was favorable. We had to motor the last couple of hours as it was on the nose. We stayed at the Oriental Marina and Inn, which was nice, but had suffered damage from Hurricane Irene, so was only half operational. This morning we left Oriental for Beaufort, and arrived about 3 p.m. Beaufort is a great little town, with dolphins in the sound, and wild horses across the bay. We explored town this afternoon and bought a few things for the trip. Tomorrow I think we're staying in Beaufort, but heading for the outside beaches to go surfing and shell collecting.

What a lovely spot! I googled Beaufort- it looks charming. Enjoy your little break! The pictures are wonderful! We lvoed the one of T and E sitting together on the cabin top! Adorable.
Seems you have escaped the winter already!
I love these pictures of the kids and the dolphins and the amazing scenery. What's with the warpaint? Is Lex cleaning her teeth? Good to see Liza at the helm. LOL AA xx
