Casey went home to Greensboro with Diane's car and we left for Oriental, NC at 9:30 a.m. It had rained overnight and it was very windy the day before. Thankfully the wind had shifted and the rain stopped. It was pretty calm as we left the dock. We arrived at Whitaker's Pointe Marina at 12:45 p.m. We picked the marina based on the ActiveCaptain rating. It wasn't in town, but they had a courtesy car that we used to get a few groceries and make a stop at a mini West Marine store. The town didn't have much to offer, so we were glad to be at Whitaker's. The marina sponsored a Sundowner cocktail party on the porch. We went back to the boat and had chicken stew that Diane brought. There was laundry and the restrooms and showers were about the best we've encountered. It was a great stop.
