Perihelion Sunrise at Neuse Street | January 4, 2009
Perihelion sunrise. The earth is closest to the sun today. This wasn’t very obvious due, in part, to the cloud cover that came with the sunrise at the end of Neuse Street this morning. Click here for more photos.
Dinghy Dock Fog and Detritus | January 3, 2009
On one of many foggy days recently, the scene from the dinghy dock. Visibility over the water was diminished, but the chilled water that helped create the fog also led to clearer than usual conditions in the water itself.

It’s that time of year when there’s a few looks back. Here’s one view of the harbor from the cockpit of a visiting sailboat, ‘Rotop’ at Oriental’s TownDock. It was another foggy day, like many we’ve had lately.

Scow-Schooner "Nina" at Sunset | December 23, 2008
The scow schooner, “Nina” nearly inside the anchorage of Oriental’s harbor. This marks a return trip to Oriental for the ‘Nina’ and her crew, who were profiled in ‘Shipping News’ four years ago. Since then, there’s been a 2-year stint in a NJ boatyard and some writing for Wooden Boat magazine. Now, the crew are heading south toward St. Augustine for the winter.

Soot on the Harbor | December 19, 2008
A heavy concentration of soot covered part of Oriental’s harbor Wednesday morning, clumping up near the Town Dock. It left smudge marks on a visiting sailboat, and drew onlookers, including the owner of Garland Fulcher Seafood, Sherrill Styron who said he seen boats that would belch out black smoke if not run in a while. But it was nothing, he said, like what he saw on the harbor Wednesday morning. (It wasn’t from one of Sherill’s boats – none of his boats were in the harbor Wednesday.) Source of the soot wasn’t clear.
