7.01- The hump in the harbor

"Captain Ralph" tows a Formosa ketch off a shoal in the Oriental harbor anchorage

The "hump" in the Oriental harbor anchorage earns TowBoat U.S. a good bit of business!

The hump is located behind the sailboats docked at the Oriental Yacht Club... If you are coming into the harbor to anchor, look for the funky old covered deck (with big "OYC" in blue facing SEy)... DONT GO ANYWHERE NEAR THE AREA BEHIND THE BOATS AT OYC UNLESS YOU HAVE FEWER THAN FOUR FEET OF DRAFT! I'd say be careful with anything over THREE feet of draft, actually.

SEE THE AREA IN YELLOW BELOW:
