You could almost miss it if you blink. Of course, you could also end up
in Vandemere or Hobucken


BTW you went right by our boat. Should have stopped in.


Which marina are you in?

We're in Northwest Creek. Actually it's a little out of the way, but
from Michigan, you went right by....

.... We did see a large junk at the dock at the Holiday
Inn (?) at the bridge in New Bern. Amazing boat, and one we'd love to have
seen in more detail.

That's a cool boat. They're gone up to the Chesapeake for the summer &
fall, I think they'll be back. It's a very nice couple from South
Africa, bought the boat partially comleted, finished it, and sailed here.


Actually the New Yorkers must undergo some sort of osmotic adaptation of
southern hospitality soon after arriving. All we met were seriously nice
folk.


Sure. They mellow out thinking, "Why bother to impress anybody around
here?" ...have not caught on that everybody around them are Yankees too.

Actually it's changed A LOT over the past 20+ years. Some for the
better, some for the worse.


Captain Ratty's has the best damned mussels and seafood chowder. Then again
I've probably never had the real thing before.

Go to Charlie's in Bayboro. That's *real* stuff, they catch it
themselves. I'm not kidding. It's not cheap (although it's not real
expensive either). Charlie's is right across from the high school right
along 55. BTW it is an unassuming mostly local place, so don't tell
anybody I told you where it is.

New Bern has a fair number of pretty good restaurants too. My favorite
is either Clemetine's or Mundo's. Needless to say that's one of the
changes.... New Bern? Restaurants?!?
