It is the web site of the town of Oriental, North Carolina. As an avid sailor I just randomly found this site. Once I did I was hooked. It is a very small town on the Neuse river and Pamlico sound.
The excellent web site is like a daily news paper.
My family had this week free so we found a house to rent and made the long drive from St. Louis to check it out. (1017 miles)
It is a great place. The big protected water of the Neuse and Pamlico sound is perfect for sailing, and of course the weather beats the Midwest.
Unfortunately the skiff was not ready for the trip so we will plan a return visit.
Tomorrow we are hoping to rent an FJ to sail. It is going to be sunny and 61 degrees!
We might be raising the anchor on Elsah Boat.
