Campbell Creek to Oriental NC

Posted by on November 13, 2012

The next morning we continued down the Intracoastal Waterway, down the Bay River and into the Neuse River and stopped in Oriental NC.

US Coast Guard Station along the ICW:

Fishing boats along the ICW:

Fog on the ICW:

Bay River:

Oriental North Carolina:

One spot open on the free town dock:

Oriental is great and we will be here until Thursday morning. We are going to relax, catch up on some sleep and enjoy the local community. Our next stop will be in Beaufort NC. From Beaufort we are trying to decide whether to stay in the ICW or go “outside” into the Atlantic for our next destination, Wrightsville Beach/Wilmington NC.

There is a harbor webcam in Oriental that looks over the town dock. Probably can’t see much until daylight but here is the link:

See you soon!

    You must have worked all afternoon getting the blog updated. The pictures are super. Still can recognize a lot of the places after you got out of the “Swamp”. I wish I would have been able to go that route at least on way. Low water that fall kept us out. Oriental is where we first got shrimp. Hope you can get some and enjoy them too. Talk to you soon. Love ya.

    Yep, took hours getting the pictures uploaded. Love technology. Looking for shrimp tomorrow! SSB seemed to be working this morning. Got folks from Canada to Florida including someone we met in DC.
