New Year’s Eve in Oriental
New Year’s Eve in Oriental means running of the dragon. Not great photos.
Month: December 2018
Dragons of Oriental, NC
According to lore, legend (and my guess alcohol), an Oriental resident associated the town name with the Orient, i.e Chinese New Year and dragons. (No offense to the PC snowflakes rife amongst us.)
Looking forward to next week’s New Year’s Eve running (wandering) of the dragon. Meanwhile, I’ve spotted several around town – all protected by the secret DPS (Dragon Protection Society).
Solstice Gift Arrives Early
New Beta Marine 43 engine for s/v Ferrity arrived today.
This puts a serious dent in my rum budget!🥃🥃
Wait!! Perhaps I can offset by cutting the food allowance starting with greens. Seriously, I can buy two pounds of bacon for the price of one pound of salad mix
Repowering – old Yanmar 4JHE
Repowering s/v Ferrity with Beta Marine 43. Some photos of the Yanmar 4JHE before removal.
