One of the places to stop and enjoy the Neuse River
Sculpture along our bike path
There are beautiful churches and restored homes in this area
We are hanging out here in New Bern, NC, on the Neuse River, (23) miles west of the ICW or Oriental NC. Our replacement parts for the dinghy crane lift arrived Tues and Tom installed them Wed morning. We are happy to have access to the dinghy again. Although Wednesday it was so cool and windy that we chose not to launch it. Hopefully today, Thursday, we can explore the area by dinghy.
After completing the crane/winch repair we rode around the area on bicycles. What a gorgeous display of historic homes along the Neuse River. We have truly enjoyed the beauty of the entire Southeast coast of this great journey. The warm hospitality and charm of these communities have been very rewarding.
The last four days we have experienced extreme high winds; it is just as well we are sitting here secured safely in a protected marina while we prepare to enjoy a week-end visit with family from Illinois,Iowa and NC. We have enjoyed meeting local and transient boaters here at The New Bern Grand Marina (Hilton Hotel). A very pleasant facility.
Hi Kids! After our traumatic ride on Wednesday, we were back on the water today and it was flat as a pancake. Arrived in Solomans today and believe me, you will love it when you get here. We haven't done a lot in town yet but the waterfront area is very beautiful!
