Oriental, NC – A Great Cruising Experience (Statute Mile 181)
Don’t you wish you could have an experience in every port of call, like the one in Oriental, NC, described by Captain Bob below! Well, that may be a pipe dream, but Oriental is and remains a very friendly port of call. Don’t miss it!
We stopped in Oriental on our way North and spent two days there. The people in the ships store (sorry can’t think of their names) were so kind to us. They volunteered their car (we didn’t ask for it) to shop and go to the laundry. We were pleasantly surprised, but good people are everywhere, so why not in Oriental? I cannot recommend the place too highly – their Marina service and hospitality was terrific. We also had a damaged stbd water pump replaced by a local mechanic, arranged by the store people. His prices were very fair for both a new Jabsco water pump and labor ($310.00)
