    Spring Cruise

    Cruise Captains: Cara & Jason

    Our first cruise of the year will be an overnight cruise to a nearby destination.  We have decided to go to Morehead City Yacht Basin which should give us a good shakedown cruise to clean out the cobwebs and stretch our sailing skills crossing the Neuse and motoring down Adam’s Creek.  MCYB welcomed us there a few years ago and we had a great time.  Please note that this is a change of original venue, Bishops Marina.

     Please subscribe to the forum to keep informed of any changes to the trip or venue.  We can never predict the weather

     Please register for the cruise through the event registration and also email Cara@CaraKeys.com the details of your boat: Length, Beam, Depth and power needs. That way I can give the marina a heads up of how many slips we need.

    Oriental’s annual In-water Boat Show has grown exponentially since its beginnings in 2009. The most recent show drew over 100 exhibitors from as far away as Hampton, Virginia; Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and Bryson City, NC. In addition to nautical goods and services, dealers and brokers will bring in boats on land and in the slips at Oriental Harbor Marina, and many informational seminars are offered.

    An NSA tradition, kick off the summer with a happy cruise to Ocracoke. There will be an NSA social on Saturday, and drinks will be provided. Please bring an appetizer to share. Afterwards, there are many restaurant options. Ocracoke Island also has beautiful beaches to explore and many lovely artisan shops. On Sunday, a group often goes to the beach in dinghy if the weather is nice. All updates will be posted on the NSA Facebook page and the forum.

    You can anchor out in Silver Lake, reserve a slip at the marina or you can dock at the government docks, which is first come, first serve.

    • Manteo

    North Cruise to Manteo

    Cruise Captains: Christa and David, Tony Nelson

    This cruise will leave Ocracoke and head back across the Pamlico sound to anchor at Long Shoal River. Next day, we’ll head north and enter the ‘Old House Channel’ and enter the Roanoke Island channel after the Oregon inlet and end up in Manteo Marina. This is all weather dependent of course.

    After Manteo, there are some options, depending on which way the wind is blowing. We could go past Manteo, enter the Alligator River (ICW), head south via the Pungo, then do a big loop back to Ocracoke. Or we could slowly head back the way we came. Either way, the hope is to be back in time for the Ocracoke Music Festival, starting June 6.

Lunch will be served from 12:30 – whenever.  Live and Silent auctions and 50-50 raffle are held following lunch.

     This is a community event, open to everyone, but staffed primarily by the membership.
