News From The Village Updated Almost Daily
November 26, 2012
Dear Editor, I speak of the photo on the first page of today’s issue of TD. (On-The-Cover photo here, and here.)We have some friends who visited us last weekend, 11/17, on their way south. We suggested that they tie up to Oriental’s Town Dock. At that time the red vessel shown in your photo was at the dock so there was “no room at the inn” – it appears that she is still there.
This presented a bit of a chore to our friends since they had to anchor a fair ways out and their dink’s outboard was out of service. Is there any way of policing the stays at the dock so that the towns hospitality is not abused?
Best regards
E. S. Mead
Oriental
11/25/12(There is a ‘way of policing’ to make the Town Dock available to more boaters. If a boat is exceeding the the posted 48-hour limit, one may contact Oriental’s police officer, Lt. Dwaine Moore at 249-0369. (Leave a message if you get the dispatcher.) Dwaine was contacted regarding the boat the writer mentions and it left the Town Dock Sunday afternoon. Editor.)
