I was fishing off our dock today and while waiting out a storm in the truck I read an ad where a sailor from Raleigh was looking for a dock in Oriental to keep his 16' sailboat.  I called and offered a spot at our dock and as fate would have it, it's a Compac 16!  Not only that, but he regularly rides with the saturday morning bicycle club that I have joined.

What's really crazy is how the locals have accepted me into their community.  Of course that will change when they witness my sailing abilities.  Or lack of.

They're gullible Carl. They'll find out about the "real" you! You can't hide that beach chair incident forever!

Yeah, Look for the sequel "Oriental Beach Chair Affair"
