Ellen & John

In Belhaven NC

John Goncalves & Ellen Justice of Salud! tied up ahead of us at the Town Dock at Pantego Creek.

The fee here is $1 per foot + $5 for a 30amp shore power connection per night. Fixed dock / on pilings.

The shore power is a bit unreliable, (some of the outlets do not work at all.)

Pump out machine.
Behind the pump out sign, is the breaker panel. The spring-loaded clasp on the bottom can be pushed up to gain access and troubleshoot tripped breakers.

The Belhaven Marina folks (next door) take the dockage fees and might offer some assistance. The town may dispatch an on-call employee to help (Ryan was very nice). But we were able to get our shore power outlet working by taking things into our own hands. There is no “dockmaster” per se. It is a first-come first-serve dock that is not staffed. (No reservations). Pay by going next store at the privately owned and operated Belhaven Marina.

Belhaven Marina does take reservations, and they offer laundry, showers, etc. Grand Manor Marina is another excellent marina in this port. Both have golf carts which one can use to re-provision.

The “facilities” at the $1 docks! LOL
It was a 22 mile cruising day for us today. The “triangle” route up the Pamlico River was to put our bow on a better angle on the weather, for a more pleasant ride, vs. taking it on the beam the whole way across.
