Pamlico Sound - Belhaven to Oriental (Neuse River)

We decided to split the 46 mile passage from Belhaven to Oriental into 2 days.
Our approach in dead calm water made the sighting of the always elusive crab pots considerably easier.
We spent 2 nights on Oriental's shallow town dock.
We used the opportunity to replenish our provisions (quick trip to the Piggly-Wiggly), fill our fresh water and diesel tanks, do our laundry, purchase a new anchor (22 lb. Danforth style) and 3 new belts for the "ever-testy" water-pump and enjoy dinner out.
