Whittaker Pointe Marina

Oriental, North Carolina

Boat we saw aground!

Leaving Beaufort



ALong the ICW



We are having another windy day. Getting out of the slip was tricky but better than getting into it yesterday! I was surprised at how flat the sea was for most of the trip. The wind kicked up for the last few miles and made our approach into the harbor dicey. Usually we back into our slip, which makes getting on and off the boat easy. Because of the wind, both Carl and I nosed into our slips.

Tomorrow Carl and I will look for a sail shop to repair his canvas that was damaged due to the high winds. Hopefully someone in town will do it while we wait for we can proceed on Tuesday.



This marina turned out to be a jewel. There is a beautiful club house with swimming pool and courtesy car. The rates for Loopers are discounted and the whole package is very affordable and pleasant.
