We found another POOL!!!

River Dunes Marina and Resort, Oriental, NC
Traveled 36 miles in 4 hours.

If I had my way, everyday we would only travel 30-40 miles. Which can take us anywhere from 3 1/2 - 4 1/2 hours. That, to me, is the ideal situation. I know if Crocket could talk, he would agree! In my ideal world, we sleep in a bit, Crocket gets to go out more than once, we eat eggs for breakfast not just fruit, and take a shower all before throwing lines. We then arrive at our destination with enough daytime to explore our new port of call.

Sometimes the exploring takes us into town and sometimes we never leave the marina.

We never left this marina! It was a beautiful new facility with a restaurant (a wedding took over the restaurant so we didn't get to try it out), a cute store for snacks and homemade frozen meals, breakfast pastries, coffee/tea/sodas and, need I say more...the marina had a POOL AND HOT TUB!!! We made it to the pool (not heated and a bit cold) and ended up in the hot tub. Then appetizers on Knot Sew Easy (Bob and Liz), ending our evening with dinner on board. It was a great short visit.

This was us leaving the channel that takes you to the marina. It was serene as we turned into the channel before catching sight of the marina. 

This is the store for some snacking.

This is the restaurant on site. Also housed here is the marina office.
The resort had a workout facility and tiki bar...amenities we are not used to seeing.

If you look close you can see Jammin Jane docked.

What do you do when you are bored...braid Bob's hair! Oh my!
When Ben and I met Bob he had his hair much shorter, he is not cutting it until they cross their wake...

Looks good! I still can't believe he let us do this to him!

We will be moving/traveling every day for the next five days...We have learned to only travel during the week (easier to get slips and less boat traffic) and spend the weekend docked in one spot. This usually works in our favor for festivals/concerts/farmers markets. So, we will stick to it!
