Aren't these clever???
This bear has a monopoly game on his back
New Bern City Hall
Today, Monday I did some laundry which the marina offers free. Tom started sanding the rails and got one coat of varnish on. What an improvement! He’ll do another coat or two tomorrow.
I had previously cleaned and waxed the console on the bridge so today I cleaned all the isinglass on the bridge with a great cleaner our friend Cheri Mueller sold us. It is Plexiglass and worth every penny. Then after I scrubbed the floor, the bridge looked pretty darn good! Too bad it doesn't stay that way.
Tom checked on his parts but they aren’t in yet. We rode to a store to pick up a Christmas present I had on hold. We rode around town and took pictures of some of the bears. To celebrate New Bern’s 300th year history they painted and decorated fiberglass bears around town. I think I mentioned Bern means bear. Also for the celebration 40 volunteers of all ages have painted 40 fire hydrants to represent characters from the history of the city. They are so cute!
This another beautiful community offering hospitality and southern charm with the best of modern conveniences. This waterfront town is surrounded by two rivers, the Neuse River as well as the Trent River. Additionally this is the home of Pepsi-Cola. New Bern's settlement began in 1710 and grew by the mid 1700's to a major vital port for the new Colonies. New Bern was NC's first Capital City. This 250-slip marina is part of the waterfront Hilton Hotel-Convention Center and the slip fee costs are extremely reasonable. A very nice facility with all the amenities. Lots of nice boats here. This harbor is tidal since the Neuse River empties into the Atlantic Ocean with no obstructions between here and the ocean.
