New Port of Call


We moved to the lovely town of Oriental, North Carolina.
A few years ago we visited it on a family trip after learning about it on the excellent site:

We bought a lot down here and if you are interested in sailing, you should too.
Our plan is to build a home and then to set up a boat shop.
Here are some views around town and a Google view of the area.
Come visit!

Big and little shrimp boats are plying the local waters.

The shrimping is good now.  The fleet is in.

Now that you are in the area you might consider doing the Classic Moth nationals at Elizabeth City in the middle of September. Very low key regatta. I'm sure we could dig up a Classic Moth for you and/or your son to borrow.
