I don't know if any kind of broadband is available in Oriental. However I
know there is DSL in Bayboro so it won't be too long coming. Cable modem,
maybe?




There must be some means of high-speed transfer. See:

That's Oriental Harbor you're looking at, replete with the shrimping fleet.
Public docks are along the street and to the left. They recently upgraded
to a new higher-res cam, which improved image quality immensely. On our
office DSL, the image comes up in less than a second.


You may be right... OTOH that server may not be in Oriental. When that
web site was first started, it was in Greenville.

The public docks "along the street" are suitable for jonboats. The short
finger pier, with the little trawler and the sailboat, is somewhat
problematic... notice how the sailboat is tied up bow-in? They're
probably aground.

I'm surprised to see so many shrimp boats in the harbor this morning. I
wonder if most of the fleet is idle.

The small building in the foreground on the left is a coffee shop. Looks
like business is pretty good. The anchorage is out beyond the sterns of
the row of shrimpers on the right. There is a new marina that takes up
most of the old anchorage around the corner. You can see the loom of the
open Neuse River in the distance to the left.
