Friday Nov 3. Made it from Oriental to Swansboro, over the Neuse Sound, through the Adams Creek canal down to Morehead City, down the "coastal" ICW along the barrier islands, over the two shallow/narrow spots we worried all night about. They were no problem since we met them at high tide and there was no traffic or barges. We pretty much had the stretch to ourselves.
We tied up to the outside dock of Casper's Marina (MM229.3)(look them up on Facebook). They had a very affectionate black cat in the office. Nice to make a new friend.
It's a short walk to town with nice shops and restaurants. Claire recommends these shops:
Through the Looking Glass www.shopttlg.com (though this is just their floral shop site. They have nice gifts and kids toys.)
Salt Marsh Cottage (home decor) www.saltmarshcottage.com
Rocket Fizz ( candy and pop ) https://rocketfizz.com/locations/rocket-fizz-emerald-isle-nc/
We enjoyed our traditional walk to look at historic homes. The older homes have signs showing who built or owned the home.

We had dinner outside at The Boro Restaurant and Bar https://borocafenc.com/
We didn't NEED a waterview ( for some reason LOL )
There are several town docks for a good deal:
$1.50 per foot per day
