It was pretty disappointing. No "tall ships" this year... Just a few smaller schooners and "medium-sized" sailing ships. Nothing in the 200' + category. Gazela Primero ( I think they just call her Gazela now) is down from Philly. She's pretty old and still has a copper-sheathed bottom. Ran into some old friends aboard Norfolk Rebel and American Rover. We were treated to much-needed cold water aboard the Rebel by an old friend. OC'd all over downtown and walked around inside Waterside to cool off a bit. No second looks from security or Norfolk cops around Town Point Park. While walking near the American Rover, I was asked by a young fellow if I was "on OCDO". I admitted to such and told the guy my s/n. He told me his, but my Alzheimers was kicking in pretty strong today, so I haven't a clue what it was not. I guess I should have written it down. I gave him my business card. Perhaps he'll answer this post. I gave him a little grief about no carrying, but he explained that he had Nat. Guard drill this weekend and couldn't carry. I told him I felt his pain.
Other than being REALLY warm downtown and more crowded that I like, it was a Lovely Open Carry Kinda Day. No problems or even funny looks (that I noticed).
