Oriental, NC - Mile 181

Greetings from Master Plan - we are in Oriental, NC after travelling 103 miles today.  It was a smooth and easy day for the most part, and we are two days away from the end of the ICW.  We waited for a few bridges, and saw a lot of interesting sites along the way . . .


This beautiful wooden boat went by us this morning prior to our leaving the dock - what a cool boat!



A surfer also paddles by as the sun rises - I love the way the sun is hitting his surfboard . . .



A large barge passes by being pushed by a tug.

Now you can see the tug!

 

We passed Camp Lejeune - some helicopters in the distance doing exercises. 



Luckily, the lights were NOT flashing!



Some "props" for training.   Camp Lejeune probably is along at least 15 miles of the ICW - it's huge.

 So - we'll head out tomorrow with our goal for another 100 miles to the Alligator River - so, as always, we'll keep you posted!

Love, Jen & Paul
