I was fortunate to have sailed with Oley once in Charlotte Harbor... things were sporty and we had to sail through a fleet of dinghies to get out to the course. Oley put his foot on the gas so he could "show them little boats what we're about." We were pretty light together, though, so over we went. Oley came up laughing, saying "that's not really what I meant!"

I've always been impressed that he kept a good attitude and had a smile for everyone. It is hard to believe that he is gone. Oley will be missed.
