We're hoping for another opportunity this year to land on the shores of the beautiful West Bay.
Wind from a southerly direction provides a safe windward shore at West Bay.
If the stars align and the winds are in our favor, we will set our course ENE. The cruise is set for September 26-27, but those who are able may want to leave on Friday the 25th.
If you haven't been to West Bay, take a look at your chart. We have anchored off the beach to the west of the Cedar Island ferry terminal. The social will be Saturday, at 4. Bring a dish to share, chairs, etc.
BYODC – Bring Your Own Dishes and Cups to events to cut back on trash and be environmentally friendly.
Make sure to fly your BURGEE during the Event!
Oriental Cup Regatta
Sponsored by the Nautical Collective of Oriental (NCO), is a weekend of sailing and racing, good food and live music. It begins Friday evening with registration at the Oriental Marina & Inn. The Regatta on Saturday includes Round the Buoys and Pursuit Races, followed by a Regatta Dinner with Music & Dancing into the night. Festivities conclude on Sunday with the NSA-sponsored Bloody Mary & Mimosas Wake-up call and Awards.
Registration, schedule, rules and Notice of Race can be found at:

The 2026 Commodore's Ball will be held at Stanley Hall in New Bern again this year on Saturday, November 7th.
The Hall, caterer, bartender (Sassy Spirits) and band (Southern Hellcats) have all been booked early to insure that we can hold the Ball in November.
IMPORTANT: The reason for this early announcement is the possibility of the Navy Ball occurring on the same weekend, which will cause competition for staying overnight in New Bern! You are urged to book accommodations NOW if you are planning on attending and spending the night in New Bern following the Ball. If you are not sure of your plans this far in advance but think attending the Ball is a strong possibility, book a fully refundable accommodation to guarantee you will have a room if you do decide to attend.
Note: Registration for the Commodore’s Ball is not open at this time. Registration and additional details about the Ball will be added in the Fall.
