eastern nc
you know i have been reading how unhappy some people are boating in other parts of the country. i live on the pamlico river and it is getting to be some of the best boating. the ocean is not far away and the river is not that crowded compared to havasu or loto.

fountainemp,
Are there any boating type social events or clubs in your area? I've thought about starting something here but, there are very few go-fasts here and the ones that are here, we already boat with....
We go up as far as Morehead and have lunch at the Sanitary and for the races.
We should gather everyone up and meet at Sanitary for lunch one day.... (in the spring!)
We also regularly go to Myrtle Beach (Barefoot Landing) for the afternoon, its a nice 1 hour ride via ICWW. This summer we are planning an overnight to Charleston (about 5 hour ride) I'll post when we start making plans.

no clubs yet. i am wanting to start one. i have toyed with the idea of putting on a poker run. most events here are just locals partying. we have summerfest at the waterfront june 13 - 15 2008. usually a good time. reserve a slip soon, they go fast. ho yeah, if barefoot landing is a hour on your boat it will take 2 on mine. i got a slow boat. hope to hear any ideas on a club in eastern nc.

I plan of heading up in the spring. Where do we go, what do we do? When is the best time to go? Holiday or Non-Holiday weekends? Has there been talk of having the poker run again?
Thanks, Rob

Some of us are figuring it out. We bought a lot on Beard's Creek (off of the Neuse River near New Bern/Oriental) and hope to build there in 5-6 years. We've been down once by boat and lots of times by land. There's a lot of potential in the area, and the big River Dunes development near Oriental is going to drive a lot of it.
Like you guys said - The area needs more waterfront "establishments", but I see them as coming soon and coming fast....
