A friend of mine from Denmark sent me some photos of his son's Optimist club, and one of them had this great pair of boating shoes.

Now I appreciate that not everyone loves Crocs (I do - I admit it!), but you have to admit it's fun to think of having port and starboard red and green shoes for sailing.

Assuming they don't sell them this way, and that you have to buy a pair of red and a pair of green - what do you do with the other pair? (I mean, you couldn't wear them boating!)

We live in an IALA B region (Red Right Returning) - all you need is a friend in an IALA A region and he or she will be as thrilled with the other pair as you are with yours.

Or, use socks instead of Crocs and enjoy two pairs of navigational goodness.
