Welcome! Little Washington is a great place
Our plans at the moment are to spend most time on the Pamlico River with trips to Bellhaven, Ocracoke and Beaufort.
A little about the boat: Interior fully renovated along with cabin walls (air core) windows, stainless steel dual fuel tanks, corian counters, bow thruster, new auto-pilot, new windlass, solar, a/c, new canvass, westerbeake 8kw generator and fuel polishing system.
I just sailed her down from Virginia Beach to Washington NC last week on the ICW and she performed flawlessly.

We lived and boated out of Oriental, NC for five years. In addition to Li'l Washington, here are a few of our favorite stops, all of which can be visited in one big loop:
Bath- Free state park dock and a couple of marinas. Original capitol of NC.
Belhaven- Not much there IMO. Lot's of cruisers rave about nearby Dowry Creek marina though.
Edenton- You can stay at the town marina for two nights free. Nice historic town which was also capitol of NC in the 1700s.
Elizabeth City- Lots of free docks on city front. Walk to nice restaurants. Home of deceased Fred Fearing's Rose Buddies who still greet cruising visitors.
Manteo- Small downtown with side tie free dock.
Ocracoke.- My absolute favorite. Relatively cheap NP docks. Can do a fun pub crawl along the waterfront in season. Check out the downtown coffee shop the next morning.
Oriental- Free docks for 4-5 boats. Lots of walkable restaurants. Has its own well known coffee shop, The Bean.
