We would have about 1 ½ to 2 hours of this on the Neuse River before we reached our destination of Oriental, NC. There were a few other south bound sailboats and some power vessels. There were also quite a few shrimp trawlers working on the Neuse and when we got into the harbor at Oriental, it was obvious that commercial fishing is alive and well in these parts of North Carolina. We arrived about 1:30 and took a slip at Oriental Marina where the boat is sitting about 50 feet from the main waterfront street of this charming town. Oriental claims to be “the sailing capital of North Carolina” and boasts a population of 831 people and 2700 boats.
