Left Beaufort Sat at 8am, we were forced to stay at Beaufort dock for 4 days due to 30 knot winds that lasted 3 days. Beaufort is really cool and we saw every inch of it. Been reading about this place for years and glad we got here. But really expensive so we needed to get down the road. We left out with a forcast of winds on our nose up the ICW at 10 to 20, what we got was steady 20 with gusts to 30. We encountered 3 to 5 waves in the Neuse river. We decided to go past oriental and head to the more protected River Dunes. After 2 hrs of bashing up the river it was great to turn into rhe River Dunes yacht basin. Completely protected basin surrounded by a beautiful development and tall pines. This place is incredible.Its a new development with a great clubhouse, pool with fireplaces, great dressing rooms, floating docks, fire pits, bikes and a loaner car! And with the marina life discount just 1 dollar a foot instead of the 2.30 at Beaufort .
We used the loaner car Sunday and took a trip to Oriental! So we got the best of both worlds. It's really cool to be back in the pines and the feel of the lake we sailed on for years inArkansas! Off tomorrow up the ICW! Some pics
