Yessir, Casper’s IS a good facility at which to spend some time. Another advantage of this facility is that it is located within a quick step of Swansboro’s downtown historic/business district. While visiting here, don’t dare miss breakfast/lunch at Yanas, and the fried seafood at Captain Charley’s Seafood Paradise in the evenings!

We arrived in Swansboro just before the winds started whipping late Saturday afternoon. Caspers was closed and everyone had already gone home except for one of the owners, I think his name is Rick, who happened to have stayed behind to work on something. “Rick” either saw us or heard our hail. He stayed on the radio and guided us away from a shoal near marker 2 (not an ICW marker) into a nice secure slip inside the bulkhead.
We were wowed by his courtesy and sense of humor. The marina is extremely well maintained and clean, too. Can’t ask for more than that. The marina is also, by the way, oriented well in relation to the current.
