6.09- Oriental Optimists

Here is the new Optimist fleet in its first week of action here in Oriental. About a dozen boats built by local craftsworkers with local business sponsorship, these little vessels went to work this week teaching the next generation of sailors to tack and jibe.

First picture shows optimists being pulled out at the Wildlife Ramp... Second picture is Optimist fleet cruising up Smith's Creek past two larger boats at anchor in the harbor.

Still 10-12 big boats at anchor in and around the harbor... today's Dinghy Dock shot:
