May 26, New Bern, NC

This is good sailing country so lots of sailboats in the marina

A swing bridge as we leave New Bern

Travel to New Bern and stay at the Sheraton Marina at the foot of downtown. Big marina with the area somewhat under construction. Walked through the town and found some interesting architecture, particularly one big Episcopal Church in the middle of town. A local shopkeeper (charming man) told us "Town rated best small undiscovered city in US by Today Show". Not sure about that or that it rated the honor. Sat afternoon and most of town closing up and will not be open on Sun, so we stay only one night instead of planned two.
