SOUTHERN CROSS
Greetings from Oriental, North Carolina
Now that our boat is safely ensconced in our back yard at 404 Ragan Road in Oriental North Carolina we are settling in to shore life. Original plans were to begin work immediately on the boat. However, “best laid plans of mice and men” soon go awry.
The house had been on the market for quite some time and prior to that had not been lived in by the owners, but by renters. As most of you will know, renters do not take care of homes well as the owners do, so many things had to be attended to. We are still in the midst of that. Then it is the fall migration season for cruisers to be headed south.
It has been big fun to host the cruisers we have met along the way, and “pay it forward” at the same time. It has been ‘grand central station’ here while this mass of south-bounders stop by.
