I have a four day charter coming up in a week out of Oriental North Carolina. I'd appreciate any tips from people familiar with the area.
We prefer wild areas and anchorages, rather than marinas and towns. The charter operator suggested anchoring near the mouth of the North River.
I'm wondering if it's feasible to make it from Oriental to Cedar Island Wildlife Refuge. If it is, is there any place to get to landfall by tender, or is it all marsh and mangrove? The operator said that the prevailing winds make a sail to Ocracoke a bit challenging and unpleasant.
A trip to the Outerbanks and Cape Lookout seem to not be feasible in a four day charter.
