The trip from Hatteras to Oriental, NC was a calm, gray day of motoring, laying down the miles on a steely sea neath a steely sky. We tied up at the public dock in Oriental and were happy to be greeted by some fellow sailors tied up next to us, the first we'd met since NYC. They offered us hot chocolate and we stood in the cold admiring each other's boats and talking shop. They advised us of the coffee shop across the street and its 24 hr webcam trained on the dock. Good to know, important to keep that in mind...
It was cold and we didn't feel like being on the boat, so we decided to go somewhere warm. At a nearby restaurant, we tucked in to some crab corn chowder and watched a little of the Vancouver Olympics from the bar. By the time we made our way back to the boat it had started snowing.
