If you've never been to the NC coast around the New Bern, Oriental area you owe it to yourself to visit there. It has so much personality and charm that you will be compelled to explore the area. I recently visited there to check out some sailboats with the intention of keeping it in the area and spend some quality time sailing and exploring the Pamlico Sound... a huge protected sailing area with so many places to check out... I shot this video at Swan Point... a marina at Sneads Ferry that is a handyman kind of place... you can live aboard your boat... even if its sitting on the ground... or on the hard and it is normally referred to. It is unedited... save adding some music... just wanted to get it online while I was there. It was pretty toasty when I was there... looking to revisit in October.
