The Silos in Oriental, NC

The Silos in Oriental, NC

Voyaged to The Silos Restaurant for dollar beer night. Was not disappointed and it is in the running for my go-to Thursday evening pub/restaurant. The food looked great as well. Plan to return Tuesday for buy one, get one pizza night.

Although I have to say that where I grew up in Oklahoma, we called these granaries. Speaking of granaries, I’m pretty sure that I have imbibed at an establishment called “Granary” somewhere in my travels.

Southbound sailboats take a weather day in Oriental, NC

At least 20 southbound sailboats opted to stay in Oriental today where it is a bit dreary, rainy, mid-60° temps, and windy.

Five boats grabbed a spot at the free town docks. Some took a slip at Oriental Marina & Inn / Toucan Grill & Fresh Bar and a few anchored.

“The Pig”, Piglet and supplies

Voyaged to “The Pig” this morning for groceries and beer. For those not familiar with the Southeast, “The Pig” is Piggly Wiggly supermarkets.

Both the one in Belhaven and this one in Oriental are well-stocked with fair prices and good produce. A bit different than my previous experience when I lived in Charleston, SC.

Borrowed the boatyard loaner car, but could have easily summoned the Piglet.
